Woodbridge
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) After 7 played minutes, Frinton AFC's Ghani Semghoun shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Amawal Kraouche came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Frinton AFC reached it. The audience was convinced that Abdelbassir Yacef's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Nacer Abdiche was relentless in the 9th minute of the game. When Joudi Makhloufi came up free with the goalie in the 19th minute, the Frinton AFC 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 Joudi Makhloufi couldn't finish the play. When Hamid Khabatou came up free with the goalie in the 25th minute, the Woodbridge 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 Hamid Khabatou couldn't finish the play. The audience thought a goal was coming when Hamid Khabatou got free with Nacer Abdiche in the 28th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 32nd match minute, Woodbridge was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Mouloud Medjiba to maneuver through the defense. Nacer Abdiche took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Abdelbassir Yacef, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Zahir Chaffaï hit a great freekick 38 minutes into the match. After 41st play minutes Abdelbassir Yacef shot 1-0, a short shot which went by Nacer Abdiche and just under the crossbar into goal. Amawal Kraouche showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Joudi Makhloufi, who was totally free with the ball in the 46th minute.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Abdelbassir Yacef was the one to do the kick off. 66 minutes into the match, Woodbridge's Hamid Khabatou sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Nacer Abdiche narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In the 68th minute the ball was on its way in behind Frinton AFC's goalkeeper Nacer Abdiche, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Hamid Khabatou fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 77th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Nacer Abdiche having to interfere. Akim Rodesli who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 83rdth minute tested the skills of Amawal Kraouche when he managed to save the team from getting behind. Karim Abrika was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 84 minutes into the match. Woodbridge's Hamid Khabatou got a good chance for a goal in the 91st minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. For all the effort they put into the match, the Frinton AFC players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Woodbridge.
