Bristol Fishponds
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Samy Mérah-Benida got the match started through his kick off. In a very dangerous position, a player in Felixstowe fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 3rd minute. Penalty! In the 6th minute there was a penalty for Bristol Fishponds United. Ziad Amara stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Achik Baïri. 1-0. When Hassan Zemmouri came up free with the goalie in the 11th minute, the Bristol Fishponds United 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 Hassan Zemmouri couldn't finish the play. Rayan Derbouz struck a weak shot in the 15th minute. Abdechahid Gaddouch didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Felixstowe. When Rayan Derbouz, who was free, got the in front of the goal in the 16 minute he wasn't focused and tipped the ball just over the goal. The Abdechahid Gaddouch was delighted since the ball would have got in if it had gone under the crossbar. Fateh Kacha received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 23rd minute. Achik Baïri tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 27th minute, Ziad Amara hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 29th minute, Abderraouf Malek hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After having played for 35 minutes, Fateh Kacha managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Bristol Fishponds United's supporters crossed their fingers, but Fateh Kacha was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Ahaszzi Kelkal hit a great freekick 37 minutes into the match. After 41 minutes of play, Bristol Fishponds United's Fateh Kacha made it 2-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Achik Baïri was left in no man's land by his defense there! Bristol Fishponds United's Abdechahid Gaddouch played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Rayan Derbouz in the 45th minute of play. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-0.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Bilal Beloufa made a kick off. After some fancy dribbling in the 53rd minute, Rayan Derbouz managed to get in a good position for a shot. Felixstowe's supporters rose to their feet, but Rayan Derbouz was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Abdechahid Gaddouch breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Fateh Kacha sent away a hard shot on goal in the 55th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. An unexpectedly hard shot by Bilal Beloufa in the 59th minute of play forced Felixstowe's goalkeeper Achik Baïri to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The audience thought a goal was coming when Rayan Derbouz got free with Abdechahid Gaddouch in the 61st minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Rayan Derbouz sent away a hard shot on goal in the 63rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Bilal Beloufa scored 3-0 in the 71st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Achik Baïri, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Achik Baïri took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Bilal Beloufa, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Achik Baïri showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Fateh Kacha in the 80th minute of the match. In the 85th minute, Abderraouf Malek had to be helped off the field due to a pulled leg muscle. When Hassan Zemmouri fell near the penalty area in the 85th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Bristol Fishponds United's protests and gave Hassan Zemmouri a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of Felixstowe booed when Bristol Fishponds United was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 86 match minutes in a wonderful position. Hassan Zemmouri didn't get a good kick on the ball. Ahaszzi Kelkal sent away a hard shot on goal in the 89th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Bristol Fishponds United's supporters were highly satisfied with the result. They cheered their team of the pitch, having watched them win a very even match.
