Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dunmow's Afa El Ghrib started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. An unexpected shot in the 3rd minute by Chakir Ziati got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. Afa El Ghrib might have been able to make a better finish in the 6th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Atbir Alioui. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Afa El Ghrib ran back to his position shaking his head. Naji Chiba sent away a hard shot on goal in the 8th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Chakir Ziati took the ball and in the 19 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Atbir Alioui. Atbir Alioui dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-0. Atbir Alioui showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Afa El Ghrib in the 23rd minute of the match. 27 minutes into the match, Imzouren's goal looked a bit too open when Afa El Ghrib came free, but Atbir Alioui reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Afa El Ghrib was extremely unlucky when he, in the 36th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. Chakir Ziati fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 38th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Atbir Alioui having to interfere. Chakir Ziati could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 41st minute of the match, but Atbir Alioui made a huge save. After a rather tough play, Imzouren's Akersim Rossi got a free kick in the 43rd minute. The audience held their breath when Bilal Oulhaj in the 44th minute of the game managed to trick the opponents defenses and fired away a shot outside the goal on the Atbir Alioui's left hand side. In the 46th minute Naji Chiba shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Saden Farass saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.
The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Nouh Didouh to strike the kick off in the second half. Saden Farass showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Nouh Didouh in the 54th minute of the match. In the 73rd minute, Naji Chiba got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. In the 75th minute Afa El Ghrib shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Atbir Alioui saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Chakir Ziati's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Atbir Alioui read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 77th minute of play. 87 minutes into the game, Nouh Didouh recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Saden Farass. Nouh Didouh showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 2-1. If Afa El Ghrib had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 91st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Afa El Ghrib came up free with the goalie in the 93rd minute, the Dunmow 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 Afa El Ghrib couldn't finish the play.
