The supporters of Running Springs AFC booed when Plentywood was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 12 match minutes in a wonderful position. Medjadi Chaib didn't get a good kick on the ball. Mohamed Ben Azem's shot from long distance in the 13th minute was not bad at all, but Plentywood's Zoheir Amri knew what was happening and pushed the ball into his arms just before it hit the right post. When the match clock showed 14 minutes, the score became 1-0 when Mansour Bouazza sped through Plentywood's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Zoheir Amri. In the 20th minute, Slimane Mecherara hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Plentywood's Abdelaziz Saïd-Guerni couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 21st minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Running Springs AFC. 23 minutes into the match, Running Springs AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Nassim Zakaria came free, but Sofiane Raï reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Sofiane Raï showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Mahmoud Said, who was totally free with the ball in the 27th minute. Sofiane Raï showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Nassim Zakaria in the 31st minute of the match. After a defensive mix-up in Running Springs AFC's zone, Mahmoud Said stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Sofiane Raï came out of the goal and Mahmoud Said tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 44th minute, Amar Heddou hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Nassim Zakaria received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 46th minute.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Mansour Bouazza to strike the kick off in the second half. 58 minutes into the match, Amar Heddou had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Zoheir Amri. Plentywood's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Amar Heddou was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-0. Nassim Zakaria might have been able to make a better finish in the 62nd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Sofiane Raï. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Nassim Zakaria ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 63rd minute, Medjadi Chaib hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. An unexpectedly hard shot by Mansour Bouazza in the 65th minute of play forced Plentywood's goalkeeper Zoheir Amri to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.
