Leytonstone
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Issam Sofyane kicked off to start the match. After some careless play in the Keele defense, Jawed Taâllah kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Arsalane Fochtali. The Keele fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Arsalane Fochtali should have stopped the shot. Cheb Lacen recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 8th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Mounir Hamruche recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 15th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Mounir Hamruche struck a weak shot in the 17th minute. Camel Djeziri didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Keele. In the 21st minute Issam Sofyane shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Arsalane Fochtali saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Jawed Taâllah sent away a hard shot on goal in the 22nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Jawed Taâllah had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 24th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Hafid Lammari kicked well hit freekick during the 27th minute of the match. Leytonstone City's Hatim Saïd shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 28th minute of play. The shot was stopped by Arsalane Fochtali but with some difficulty. Cheb Lacen sent away a hard shot on goal in the 31st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Mounir Hamruche came up free with the goalie in the 34th minute, the Keele 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 Mounir Hamruche couldn't finish the play. Leytonstone City's Camel Djeziri played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Cheb Lacen in the 39th minute of play. After a rather tough play, Leytonstone City's Cheikh Sadaoui got a free kick in the 45th minute. Mounir Hamruche sent away a hard shot on goal in the 48th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Cheb Lacen made a kick off. After some careless play in the Leytonstone City defense, Mounir Hamruche kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Camel Djeziri. The Leytonstone City fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Camel Djeziri should have stopped the shot. Mounir Hamruche fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 64th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Camel Djeziri having to interfere. In the 66thth minute of the game Issam Sofyane who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Keele's Arsalane Fochtali was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Camel Djeziri acted impressively in front of the goal and made a superb save when he, in the 68th minute, took the ball on the long shot from Rafik Tétah. 70 minutes into the match, Leytonstone City's Jawed Taâllah sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Arsalane Fochtali narrowly saved just below the crossbar. With a little luck, Leytonstone City's Camel Djeziri got control of the ball when Mounir Hamruche tried to sneak it across the goal line. Camel Djeziri made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Cheb Lacen in the 76th minute of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 78th minute, Mounir Hamruche managed to get in a good position for a shot. Keele's supporters rose to their feet, but Mounir Hamruche was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Camel Djeziri breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 79th minute, Keele's Cheb Lacen ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Camel Djeziri. Camel Djeziri yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-2. The supporters of Keele booed when Leytonstone City was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 86 match minutes in a wonderful position. Cheikh Sadaoui didn't get a good kick on the ball. Camel Djeziri took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Cheb Lacen, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Cheb Lacen had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 88th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Mounir Hamruche fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 93rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Camel Djeziri having to interfere. 95 minutes into the match, Leytonstone City's goal looked a bit too open when Cheb Lacen came free, but Camel Djeziri reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When the match was over Keele could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Leytonstone City throughout the match.
