League Play-Off

Trimley Stadium
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Malek Djura kicked off to start the match. After 3 played minutes Trimley got a freekick which was hit by Houari Mecherara. If Nasreddine Adjimi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 5th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Malek Djura sent away a hard shot on goal in the 10th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Nasreddine Adjimi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 12th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Merouane Jeanson having to interfere. When Trimley's Kendi Hasni in the 13th minute got a chance for a shot 13th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Berkhamsted's goalie prevented a goal. 17 minutes into the match, Berkhamsted's goalkeeper Djafar Guellil had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Khalil Cherif. Nasreddine Adjimi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 32nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Merouane Jeanson having to interfere. The audience was convinced that Malek Djura's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Merouane Jeanson was relentless in the 34th minute of the game. Khalil Cherif could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 36th minute of the match, but Djafar Guellil made a huge save. After some fancy dribbling in the 37th minute, Kendi Hasni managed to get in a good position for a shot. Trimley's supporters rose to their feet, but Kendi Hasni was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Djafar Guellil breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Khalil Cherif fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 41st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Djafar Guellil having to interfere. If Malek Djura had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 43rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After 49 minutes, Achour Kerbouche mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Berkhamsted and the Trimley players grew even worse after the yellow card. The supporters of Trimley booed when Berkhamsted was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 49 match minutes in a wonderful position. Achour Kerbouche didn't get a good kick on the ball. Bakezda Mihoubi was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 50th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Kendi Hasni to strike the kick off in the second half. After some careless play in the Berkhamsted defense, Mouloud Bendali kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Djafar Guellil. The Berkhamsted fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Djafar Guellil should have stopped the shot. Khalil Cherif fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 70th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Djafar Guellil having to interfere. Djafar Guellil showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Khalil Cherif in the 73rd minute of the match. In the 78thth minute of the game Khalil Cherif who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Berkhamsted's Djafar Guellil was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Kendi Hasni sent away a hard shot on goal in the 80th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Trimley's Merouane Jeanson proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 83rd minute of the match, managed to save Trimley from getting a goal against them. 88 minutes into the match, Nasreddine Adjimi notched a goal, 1-2, to the right of Trimley's Merouane Jeanson. Merouane Jeanson was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Nasreddine Adjimi recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 91st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. The away crowd were delighted with the way their team had played and cheered loudly when the final whistle sounded. Berkhamsted walked away with the win, even though the match was close until the end.
