League Play-Off

Whitton Park
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Djamil Brahimi kicked off to start the match. After some careless play in the Whitton defense, Salim El Kettani kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Daniel Boufroura. The Whitton fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Daniel Boufroura should have stopped the shot. Djamil Brahimi received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 9th minute. Bassi Cherrad tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Bassi Cherrad acted impressively in front of the goal and made a superb save when he, in the 14th minute, took the ball on the long shot from Abdel Bezzaz. After 15 minutes of play, Whitton's Otman Metidji made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Bassi Cherrad was left in no man's land by his defense there! If Salim El Kettani had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 21st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. A hard shot 24 in the game by Otman Metidji from a close distance when the talented Bassi Cherrad managed to make a qualified save. Camden's players were relieved. Djamil Brahimi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 29th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Bassi Cherrad having to interfere. 32 minutes into the match, Whitton's goal looked a bit too open when Salim El Kettani came free, but Daniel Boufroura reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 33rd match minute, Camden was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Zouhir Rahmani to maneuver through the defense. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Bendjedid Haddadj during the 37th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After 36 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Camden! Whitton's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Badr Bezzaz in the 43rd minute.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Salim El Kettani made a kick off. 51 minutes into the game, Bouabdellah Salah recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Daniel Boufroura. Bouabdellah Salah showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 2-2. Bassi Cherrad didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Otman Metidji went, in the 63rd minute, to the upper right corner, 3-2 was the resulting score. Djamil Brahimi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 67th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Bassi Cherrad showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Otman Metidji, who was totally free with the ball in the 69th minute. Otman Metidji might have been able to make a better finish in the 75th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Bassi Cherrad. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Otman Metidji ran back to his position shaking his head. Daniel Boufroura made an important save on a dangerous shot by Bouabdellah Salah in the 77th minute. Otman Metidji received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 81st minute. Bassi Cherrad tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.
