League Play-Off

Parbold Stadium
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Muhammad Derbouz took the kick off in the first half of the match. Parbold's Ishak Oulhaci came free and shot a quick shot against goal 3 minutes in the game, fortunately Atik Hamrouche had problems saving as it came toward the left post. Ishak Oulhaci sent away a hard shot on goal in the 13th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Kendi Ghennouchi in the 22nd minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Bassim Mansouri prevented the ball from getting in the gole. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ziad Bencherif in the 27th minute of play forced Parbold's goalkeeper Bassim Mansouri to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Tarek Sahraoui kicked well hit freekick during the 28th minute of the match. Chabane Selmi kicked well hit freekick during the 29th minute of the match. 35 minutes into the match, Parbold's goal looked a bit too open when Ziad Bencherif came free, but Bassim Mansouri reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 39th minute, Ishak Oulhaci made a precise shot to the right of Atik Hamrouche. Bebington's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-2. An unexpectedly hard shot by Muhammad Derbouz in the 45th minute of play forced Bebington's goalkeeper Atik Hamrouche to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 46 played minutes Bebington got a freekick which was hit by Hamid Morceli. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The wind increased when Kendi Ghennouchi made the kick off in the second half. If Ishak Oulhaci had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 53rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. A collision led to Parbold getting a freekick after 56 minutes play. Tarek Sahraoui hit a great ball. Bassim Mansouri was a little too slow when Kendi Ghennouchi got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 62nd minute. The score was now 2-3. In the 65th minute, Muhammad Derbouz left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Parbold fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 3-3. Ziad Bencherif struck a weak shot in the 68th minute. Bassim Mansouri didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Bebington. In the 69th minute, Zidan Saadane hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 71st minute Kendi Ghennouchi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Bassim Mansouri saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Ziad Bencherif fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 74th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Bassim Mansouri having to interfere. After 77 minutes, Zidan Saadane mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Parbold and the Bebington players grew even worse after the yellow card. Parbold's Bassim Mansouri played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Kendi Ghennouchi in the 79th minute of play. If Ziad Bencherif had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 83rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Bassim Mansouri made a fantastic save in the 84th minute, when Ziad Bencherif sent off a good shot on target. In the 94th minute Ishak Oulhaci shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Atik Hamrouche saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 96 minutes into the match, Parbold's goalkeeper Bassim Mansouri had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Ziad Bencherif. 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.
