League Play-Off

Preston
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Ahmed Beloufa took the kick off in the first half of the match. Madjid Hasni fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 3rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Benamar Maroc having to interfere. Madjid Hasni received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 5th minute. Benamar Maroc tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The audience was convinced that Ahmed Beloufa's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Yazid Bensaïd was relentless in the 12th minute of the game. Madjid Hasni recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 15th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. When the match had gone on for 17 minutes, Ahmed Beloufa took a quick shot and it went in 1-0 without a chance for Yazid Bensaïd to make any attempt to save it. Madjid Hasni struck a weak shot in the 20th minute. Benamar Maroc didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Tularosa AFC. 22 minutes into the game, Tularosa AFC's Mimoun Gallaire nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Benamar Maroc made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-1. Ahmed Beloufa was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 28th minute. Preston AFC's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. In the 30th match minute, Tularosa AFC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Mustapha Medjoudj to maneuver through the defense. Preston AFC's Said Besseghir shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 31st minute of play. The shot was stopped by Yazid Bensaïd but with some difficulty. In the 33rd minute, Ahmed Hamruche hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Ahmed Beloufa's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Yazid Bensaïd read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 41st minute of play. Halim Boniche hit a great freekick 43 minutes into the match. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Mimoun Gallaire was the one to do the kick off. Benamar Maroc took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Mimoun Gallaire, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Madjid Hasni could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 58th minute of the match, but Benamar Maroc made a huge save. Madjid Hasnis short, quick shot in the 66thth minute got Benamar Maroc to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. In the 68th minute, Fodil Bedjaoui hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Mustapha Medjoudj had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 70th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The supporters of Preston AFC booed when Tularosa AFC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 72 match minutes in a wonderful position. Mustapha Medjoudj didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 74th match minute, Preston AFC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Said Besseghir to maneuver through the defense. Madjid Hasni fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 76th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Benamar Maroc having to interfere. In the 82nd match minute, Preston AFC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Walid Zerara to maneuver through the defense. Ahmed Hamruche fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 86th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Yazid Bensaïd having to interfere. After 91 played minutes Tularosa AFC got a freekick which was hit by Jean Radjef. In the 92nd minute, Said Besseghir sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Tularosa AFC's Yazid Bensaïd didn't even have to move. Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
