Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27,
Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Hicham Mammech got the match started through his kick off. After a rather tough play, Holloway's Khalida Hamdoud got a free kick in the 2nd minute. If Elias Bezzaz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 7th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Boubaker Djebar sent away a hard shot on goal in the 11th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. An unexpectedly hard shot by Elias Bezzaz in the 17th minute of play forced Holloway's goalkeeper Ayoub Merdaci to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Elias Bezzaz took the ball and in the 19 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Ayoub Merdaci. Ayoub Merdaci dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-0. If Boubaker Djebar had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 25th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With a little luck, Holloway's Ayoub Merdaci got control of the ball when Boubaker Djebar tried to sneak it across the goal line. Boubaker Djebar had several of the Holloway's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 29 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 2-0 score and a disappointed Ayoub Merdaci as he didn't even see the shot coming. In the 35th minute, Holloway's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Elias Bezzaz fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. Said Mzali showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Hicham Mammech in the 39th minute of the match. Hicham Mammech fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 40th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Said Mzali having to interfere. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-0 at half-time.
The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Elias Bezzaz was the one to do the kick off. With a little luck, Attleborough's Said Mzali got control of the ball when Khalida Hamdoud tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 53rd minute the ball was on its way in behind Holloway's goalkeeper Ayoub Merdaci, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Ayoub Merdaci came out of the goal in the 55th minute to try and stop a shot by Attleborough's Mounir Oussalah. But to his dismay, Mounir Oussalah quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 3-0. Hicham Mammech sent away a hard shot on goal in the 60th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In a very dangerous position, a player in Attleborough fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 61st minute. Penalty! After 68 played minutes Attleborough got a freekick which was hit by Abdelnasser Trari. After 70 minutes, Hicham Mammech made it 3-2 with a short kick to the right side. Attleborough's Said Mzali tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 73rd minute, Abdel Dib hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Hicham Mammech recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 76th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. When Khalida Hamdoud came up free with the goalie in the 83rd minute, the Holloway fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Khalida Hamdoud couldn't finish the play. Said Mzali took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Hicham Mammech, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Said Mzali made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Hicham Mammech in the 95th minute of play. The final whistle blew with the score still tied, and both teams left the pitch thinking about the missed chances that could have given their team the win.
