Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) An unexpectedly hard shot by Fadhel Basli in the 7th minute of play forced Chinnor's goalkeeper Muhammad Clayton to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Ferid Karoui kicked well hit freekick during the 9th minute of the match. Fadhel Basli received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 11th minute. Muhammad Clayton tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Issam Korbi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 15th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. In the 17th match minute, Ferndown AFC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Ali Chaldun to maneuver through the defense. In the 21st minute, Slaheddine Thabet ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Muhammad Clayton was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. After a rather tough play, Ferndown AFC's Ali Chaldun got a free kick in the 29th minute. Issam Korbi did some fancy footwork in front of goal and succeeded to deceive the defenders so he could slam the ball in 1-1 to the left of a surprised Aymen Mechergui 33 minutes into the match. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 1-1 after a close first half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Fadhel Basli was the one to do the kick off. Issam Korbi received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 56th minute. Aymen Mechergui tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 65 minutes of play, Chinnor's Issam Korbi made it 2-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Aymen Mechergui was left in no man's land by his defense there! If Issam Korbi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 70th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Issam Korbi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 74th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. In the 76th match minute, Chinnor was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Salah Achour to maneuver through the defense. Fadhel Basli struck a weak shot in the 78th minute. Muhammad Clayton didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Ferndown AFC. 83 minutes into the match, Ferndown AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Anis Hakimi came free, but Aymen Mechergui reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Anis Hakimi recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 86th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Slaheddine Thabet's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Muhammad Clayton read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 91st minute of play. Ferndown AFC succeeded in salvaging a draw, even though Chinnor had controlled the match.
