Wembley Park
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Zakaria Brahimi made the kick off which started today's match. In the 3rd minute, Wembley City's Zakaria Brahimi ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Lammouri Zafour. Lammouri Zafour yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-0. In the 7th minute the ball was on its way in behind Wembley City's goalkeeper Hamza El Ibrahimi, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. If Saber Malek had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 8th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some fancy dribbling in the 11th minute, Saber Malek managed to get in a good position for a shot. Great Yarmouth City's supporters rose to their feet, but Saber Malek was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Hamza El Ibrahimi breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 14th match minute, Great Yarmouth City was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Ghanem Maillot to maneuver through the defense. 15 minutes into the match, Wembley City's Amawal Djenane broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. Ghanem Maillot's late challenge caught a Wembley City's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Ghanem Maillot helped the player get up and apologised. After 16 played minutes Great Yarmouth City got a freekick which was hit by Ghanem Maillot. Rayan Beloufa charged in rather forcefully in the 19th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Rayan Beloufa the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 19th match minute, Great Yarmouth City was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Rayan Beloufa to maneuver through the defense. In the 20th minute, Zakaria Brahimi fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Lammouri Zafour, passed just outside the right post. After 23 minutes, Saber Malek mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Great Yarmouth City and the Wembley City players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 23rd match minute, Great Yarmouth City was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Saber Malek to maneuver through the defense. Lammouri Zafour took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Zakaria Brahimi, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When Wembley City's Zakaria Brahimi in the 35th minute got a chance for a shot 35th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Great Yarmouth City's goalie prevented a goal. Saber Malek took the ball and in the 41 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Hamza El Ibrahimi. Hamza El Ibrahimi dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-1. In the 46th minute Saber Malek shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Hamza El Ibrahimi saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The first half was very even, with the score at 1-1 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Saber Malek was the one to do the kick off. The crowd rose to their feet as Great Yarmouth City's Saber Malek slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Hamza El Ibrahimi. That made the score 1-2 after 59 minutes of play. If Saber Malek had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 72nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Hamza El Ibrahimi showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Saber Malek, who was totally free with the ball in the 76th minute. 77 minutes into the game, Hachem Mazigh recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Hamza El Ibrahimi. Hachem Mazigh showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 2-3. Zakaria Brahimi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 81st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Lammouri Zafour having to interfere. Hachem Mazigh received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 84th minute. Hamza El Ibrahimi tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. With a little luck, Wembley City's Hamza El Ibrahimi got control of the ball when Hachem Mazigh tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 91st match minute, Great Yarmouth City was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Ghanem Maillot to maneuver through the defense. The audience was convinced that Meziane El Kettani's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Lammouri Zafour was relentless in the 94th minute of the game. Hachem Mazigh was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 97th minute. Great Yarmouth City's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance.
