League Play-Off

Leamington Spa
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Houcine Decastel got the match started through his kick off. If Brahim Miaâdi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 2nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. A collision led to Leamington Spa City getting a freekick after 4 minutes play. Karim Kaâbi hit a great ball. When the match had gone on for 8 minutes, Brahim Miaâdi took a quick shot and it went in 1-0 without a chance for Kais Mkacher to make any attempt to save it. Kais Mkacher made a fantastic save in the 16th minute, when Faouzi El Ouaer sent off a good shot on target. Ayèche Ben Boumnijel scored 2-1 in the 23rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Iteb Belgacem, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Mohamed Mkacher during the 28th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Faouzi El Ouaer who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 29thth minute tested the skills of Kais Mkacher when he managed to save the team from getting behind. 34 minutes into the match, Leamington Spa City's goal looked a bit too open when Ayèche Ben Boumnijel came free, but Iteb Belgacem reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Abdelhamid Boumnijel hit a great freekick 38 minutes into the match. A hard shot by Tarak Chiba from long distance, 38 minutes into the match, got Kais Mkacher's attention. Through a fast twist with his body, he could stop the ball from going in on his right side. Kais Mkacher didn't succeed in stopping the ball in the 40th minute, which inside left pole to 3-1. 48 minutes into the game, Ayèche Ben Boumnijel cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 3-2. Iteb Belgacem was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 3-2.

Tahar Fitouri hit a great freekick 55 minutes into the match. Houcine Decastel struck a weak shot in the 65th minute. Iteb Belgacem didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Hatfield AFC. The audience thought a goal was coming when Ayèche Ben Boumnijel got free with Iteb Belgacem in the 70th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Houcine Decastel fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 71st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Iteb Belgacem having to interfere. Tahar Fitouri charged in rather forcefully in the 78th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Tahar Fitouri the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 78 played minutes Hatfield AFC got a freekick which was hit by Tahar Fitouri. Brahim Miaâdi received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 82nd minute. Kais Mkacher tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After having played for 84 minutes, Houcine Decastel managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Hatfield AFC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Houcine Decastel was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After 86 played minutes, Hatfield AFC's Haykel Achour shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Iteb Belgacem 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 Hatfield AFC reached it. Faouzi El Ouaer scored 4-2 in the 90th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Kais Mkacher, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Brahim Miaâdi in the 95th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Kais Mkacher saved Hatfield AFC from getting behind. If Faouzi El Ouaer had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 97th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Leamington Spa City's supporters were highly satisfied with the result. They cheered their team of the pitch, having watched them win a very even match.
