Tiverton Park
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Moncef Salem kicked off to start the match. If Zoubair Sboui had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 5th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Zoubair Sboui sent away a hard shot on goal in the 7th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Zoubair Sboui sent away a hard shot on goal in the 9th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a rather tough play, Tiverton's Hamdi ibn Ali got a free kick in the 11th minute. Moncef Salem's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Riadh Sioud read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 12th minute of play. Zoubair Sboui fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 19th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Riadh Sioud having to interfere. 20 minutes into the match, Tiverton's goal looked a bit too open when Moncef Salem came free, but Riadh Sioud reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Sadok Jemmali made an important save on a dangerous shot by Kaies Sfar in the 23rd minute. Tiverton's Riadh Sioud played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Zoubair Sboui in the 26th minute of play. When Zoubair Sboui came up free with the goalie in the 33rd minute, the Warrington 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 Zoubair Sboui couldn't finish the play. After some fancy dribbling in the 39th minute, Zoubair Sboui managed to get in a good position for a shot. Warrington's supporters rose to their feet, but Zoubair Sboui was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Riadh Sioud breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Mokhtar Sanchou to make the kick off. Riadh Sioud took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Moncef Salem, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The audience was convinced that Moncef Salem's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Riadh Sioud was relentless in the 56th minute of the game. In the 57thth minute of the game Moncef Salem who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Tiverton's Riadh Sioud was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball.

In the 76th minute Moncef Salem shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Riadh Sioud saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Michel Meriah kicked well hit freekick during the 78th minute of the match. Zouheir Haggui was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 79th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. In the 83rd minute, Kaies Sfar left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Tiverton fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-0. 95 minutes into the match, Warrington's Moncef Salem sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Riadh Sioud narrowly saved just below the crossbar. If Mokhtar Sanchou had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 96th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
