League Play-Off

Dunchurch Stadium
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Tarek Ouhir took the kick off in the first half of the match. 4 minutes into the match, Mohamed Saidi notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Dunchurch's Anouar Idir. Anouar Idir was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Through an outstanding action, after 8 minutes, Jamel Mnari successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. Ziad Guelbi kicked well hit freekick during the 9th minute of the match. In the 12th minute Mongi Kefacha shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Anouar Idir saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 12 played minutes Dunchurch got a freekick which was hit by Slim Ben Mbarek. Dunchurch's Anouar Idir played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Mongi Kefacha in the 15th minute of play. Mongi Kefacha scored 0-2 in the 15th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Anouar Idir, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After 18 minutes of play, Hornsea AFC's Mongi Kefacha made it 0-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Anouar Idir was left in no man's land by his defense there! After 21 minutes, Mohamed Saidi mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Hornsea AFC and the Dunchurch players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 21st match minute, Hornsea AFC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Mohamed Saidi to maneuver through the defense. Mongi Kefacha received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 28th minute. Anouar Idir tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 33rd minute, Ali Mkacher hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The audience thought a goal was coming when Adel Ben Saada got free with Jamel Mnari in the 34th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. An unexpected shot in the 37th minute by Adel Ben Saada got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. 45 minutes had been played when some careless play by Hornsea AFC's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Ziad Guelbi was slow to take the kick. During this time Dunchurch's players had a chance to rest. Jamel Mnari was in exellent shape and made a fantastic save when he, in the 47th minute of the match, managed to get hold of the ball after a long shot from Hedi Haggui. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-3 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Mongi Kefacha stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. When Mohamed Saidi was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 51 minutes had been played. Mohamed Saidi hit a great freekick 52 minutes into the match. Adel Ben Saada sent away a hard shot on goal in the 54th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Adel Ben Saada might have been able to make a better finish in the 61st minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Jamel Mnari. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Adel Ben Saada ran back to his position shaking his head. Ali Mkacher kicked well hit freekick during the 61st minute of the match. Ziad Guelbi, 62 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Tarek Ouhir received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 65th minute. Jamel Mnari tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 68 minutes into the match, Hornsea AFC's Mongi Kefacha sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Anouar Idir narrowly saved just below the crossbar. A collision led to Dunchurch getting a freekick after 68 minutes play. Slim Ben Mbarek hit a great ball. 70 minutes into the match, Dunchurch's goal looked a bit too open when Mongi Kefacha came free, but Anouar Idir reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After a rather tough play, Dunchurch's Mongi Sayah got a free kick in the 70th minute. After 72 played minutes Dunchurch got a freekick which was hit by Slim Ben Mbarek. Dunchurch's Anouar Idir played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Mongi Kefacha in the 77th minute of play. Mongi Kefacha received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 79th minute. Anouar Idir tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 81st minute, Adel Ben Saada 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. If Tarek Ouhir had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 86th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 96th minute, Michel Bargougui hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 97 minutes into the match, Dunchurch's Ziad Guelbi sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Jamel Mnari narrowly saved just below the crossbar. The Hornsea AFC players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
