Tottington
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Padstow's Muhammad Ghodhbane 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. Férid Ben Jegham took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Muhammad Ghodhbane, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Muhammad Ghodhbane scored 0-1 in the 14th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Férid Ben Jegham, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After having played for 25 minutes, Houcine Yahia managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Tottington's supporters crossed their fingers, but Houcine Yahia was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After a defensive mix-up in Tottington's zone, Adel Dermech stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Férid Ben Jegham came out of the goal and Adel Dermech tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 31 minutes into the match, Tottington's goal looked a bit too open when Adel Dermech came free, but Férid Ben Jegham reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 38 minutes into the match, Padstow's goal looked a bit too open when Ben Belkahia came free, but David Karoui reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Ben Belkahia sent away a hard shot on goal in the 42nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 44th minute, Mehdi Ayari hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Ben Belkahia received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 45th minute. David Karoui tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. David Karoui showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Hatem Nouira, who was totally free with the ball in the 47th minute. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-1.

In the 58th minute, Emir Haj Bejaoui hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Zied Sboui kicked well hit freekick during the 64th minute of the match. After a rather tough play, Tottington's Kais Chiki got a free kick in the 67th minute. In the 69th minute Muhammad Ghodhbane shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Férid Ben Jegham saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Emir Haj Bejaoui's late challenge caught a Padstow's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Emir Haj Bejaoui helped the player get up and apologised. Rashid Yahia shot the penalty kick by force right in the crossbar. No goal. 77 minutes into the game, Adel Dermech cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-2. Férid Ben Jegham was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. In the 83rd minute Kaies M'ghirbi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but David Karoui saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 86 minutes into the match, Tottington's goalkeeper Férid Ben Jegham had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Adel Dermech. When Kaies M'ghirbi fell near the penalty area in the 92nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Tottington's protests and gave Kaies M'ghirbi a yellow card for diving instead. A collision led to Tottington getting a freekick after 92 minutes play. Kaies M'ghirbi hit a great ball. In the 98th minute, one of Padstow:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Padstow. In the 100th minute there was a penalty for Tottington. Kais Ben Younes stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving David Karoui. 1-2. The Padstow 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.
