League Play-Off

Camden
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Abdelhamid Nemchi took the kick off in the first half of the match. The supporters of Camden booed when Hebden Bridge was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 2 match minutes in a wonderful position. Alsan Benboudaoud didn't get a good kick on the ball. After a defensive mix-up in Hebden Bridge's zone, Bouabdellah Salah stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Barsa Kerkar came out of the goal and Bouabdellah Salah tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. A collision led to Hebden Bridge getting a freekick after 5 minutes play. Nouh Benbitour hit a great ball.

In the 20th minute, Bouabdellah Salah fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Barsa Kerkar, passed just outside the right post.

When Bouabdellah Salah came up free with the goalie in the 41st minute, the Camden 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 Bouabdellah Salah couldn't finish the play. If Bouabdellah Salah had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 44th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Nouh Benbitour hit a great freekick 46 minutes into the match. In the 47th minute, Farid Mansouri sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Hebden Bridge's Barsa Kerkar didn't even have to move.

The wind increased when Salim El Kettani made the kick off in the second half. After some fancy dribbling in the 56th minute, Mahieddine Ghoumari managed to get in a good position for a shot. Hebden Bridge's supporters rose to their feet, but Mahieddine Ghoumari was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Bassi Cherrad breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Salim El Kettani recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 61st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Bassi Cherrad took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Abdelhamid Nemchi, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.
