Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26,
Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Adel Mrabet took the kick off in the first half of the match. After a defensive mix-up in Rawdon's zone, Mehdi Ziadi stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Borhene Radhouani came out of the goal and Mehdi Ziadi tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Beji Ghannouchi kicked well hit freekick during the 20th minute of the match. Khaled Boumnijel, 21 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. With a little luck, Stratton's Sofiene Soliman got control of the ball when Bechir Zaghouani tried to sneak it across the goal line. Ali Bourchada sent away a hard shot on goal in the 31st minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal.

After 46 minutes of play, Stratton's Mehdi Ziadi made it 1-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Borhene Radhouani was left in no man's land by his defense there! Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.
Sofiene Soliman took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Kaies Jaouachi, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. A collision led to Stratton getting a freekick after 54 minutes play. Hamed Sellimi hit a great ball. Bechir Zaghouani fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 58th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Sofiene Soliman having to interfere.

Sofiene Soliman dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-2. Kaies Hadda kicked well hit freekick during the 82nd minute of the match. When Kaies Hadda fell near the penalty area in the 88th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Rawdon's protests and gave Kaies Hadda a yellow card for diving instead. Kaies Hadda hit a great freekick 88 minutes into the match. Mehdi Ziadi received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 92nd minute. Borhene Radhouani tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 94th minute, Adel Mrabet managed to get in a good position for a shot. Stratton's supporters rose to their feet, but Adel Mrabet was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Borhene Radhouani breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 96 minutes into the match, Rawdon's goalkeeper Borhene Radhouani had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Mehdi Ziadi. Stratton played a much better game than Rawdon and deserved their victory. The Rawdon players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
