Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Amezyan El Emmani made the kick off which started today's match. Izri El Brazi didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Abdelhafiz Belkhayat went, in the 3rd minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. Aylal Obbadi had great luck who in the 6thth minute grab hold of the ball when Amezyan El Emmani from a short distance tried to put the ball inside the right post. 18 minutes into the game, Abdelhafiz Belkhayat cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-2. Izri El Brazi was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. 20 minutes into the game, one of Figuig Union Sportive:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. Figuig Union Sportive:s Izri El Brazi showed great skill when he stopped Idus Amchaibou:s penalty. After 22 minutes of play, Knottingley FC's Idus Amchaibou made it 0-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Izri El Brazi was left in no man's land by his defense there! Ajeddig Berkouch struck a weak shot in the 26th minute. Izri El Brazi didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Knottingley FC. If Amezyan El Emmani had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 29th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 37 minutes into the match, Ajeddig Berkouch had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Izri El Brazi. Figuig Union Sportive's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Ajeddig Berkouch was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-4. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ajeddig Berkouch in the 46th minute of play forced Figuig Union Sportive's goalkeeper Izri El Brazi to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 1-4 lead.

Amezyan El Emmani fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 52nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Aylal Obbadi having to interfere. 60 minutes into the match, Knottingley FC's goal looked a bit too open when Ghalib Bouhaja came free, but Aylal Obbadi reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 75th minute, Hisham Jermouni hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Azulay Maaroufi kicked well hit freekick during the 76th minute of the match. Aylal Obbadi stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Amezyan El Emmani's shot from short distance in the 77th minute. Ghalib Bouhaja sent away a hard shot on goal in the 80th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Knottingley FC's Aylal Obbadi played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Amezyan El Emmani in the 87th minute of play. When Ajeddig Berkouch came up free with the goalie in the 88th minute, the Knottingley FC 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 Ajeddig Berkouch couldn't finish the play. 93 minutes into the game, Amalu Hadda was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Figuig Union Sportive's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Knottingley FC the free kick. After 93 played minutes Figuig Union Sportive got a freekick which was hit by Amalu Hadda. Knottingley FC's Idus Amchaibou couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 94th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Figuig Union Sportive. The referee blew the final whistle, and the away crowd roared, having watched Knottingley FC eke out a victory against a very well matched opponent.
