League Play-Off

San Augustine Stadiu
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Chadli Nima started the match with the kick off. Rabah Morceli sent away a hard shot on goal in the 3rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. An unexpectedly hard shot by Mouloud Merbah in the 6th minute of play forced San Augustine's goalkeeper Said Faudel to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 9th match minute, Pell Lake AFC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Robert Bensaoula to maneuver through the defense. San Augustine's Hameur Kouri couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 10th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Pell Lake AFC. In the 13th minute, Mouloud Merbah ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Said Faudel was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. Mouloud Merbah received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 20th minute. Said Faudel tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The supporters of Pell Lake AFC booed when San Augustine was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 21 match minutes in a wonderful position. Sid Ahmed Ahmed didn't get a good kick on the ball. Yacine Kheyari sent away a hard shot on goal in the 23rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 0-2 became the score in the 26th minute when Yacine Kheyari elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. Chadli Nima fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 31st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Anthar Meskine having to interfere. Sid Ahmed Ahmed's late challenge caught a Pell Lake AFC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Sid Ahmed Ahmed helped the player get up and apologised. After 40 played minutes San Augustine got a freekick which was hit by Sid Ahmed Ahmed. Said Faudel stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Yacine Kheyari's shot from short distance in the 41st minute. In the 43rd minute Yacine Kheyari shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Said Faudel saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Yacine Kheyari struck a weak shot in the 45th minute. Said Faudel didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Pell Lake AFC.

The wind increased when Yacine Kheyari made the kick off in the second half. Rabah Morceli blasted a shot towards the goal in the 51st minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Anthar Meskine having to make a save. If Rabah Morceli had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 53rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Chadli Nima blasted a shot towards the goal in the 57th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Anthar Meskine having to make a save. Pell Lake AFC's Mouloud Merbah got a good chance for a goal in the 58th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. A collision led to San Augustine getting a freekick after 60 minutes play. Hocine Belmellat hit a great ball. Mouloud Merbahs short, quick shot in the 62ndth minute got Said Faudel to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. In the 66th minute, Robert Bensaoula hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 66th minute of the match Hameur Kouri shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Anthar Meskine showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. Rabah Morceli might have been able to make a better finish in the 70th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Anthar Meskine. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Rabah Morceli ran back to his position shaking his head. 72 minutes into the match, Pell Lake AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Chadli Nima came free, but Anthar Meskine reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. San Augustine's Said Faudel proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 75th minute of the match, managed to save San Augustine from getting a goal against them. Said Faudel took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Yacine Kheyari, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 83rd minute Chadli Nima shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Anthar Meskine saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Sid Ahmed Ahmed was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 84 minutes had been played. In the 84th minute, Sid Ahmed Ahmed hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Mouloud Merbah could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 86th minute of the match, but Said Faudel made a huge save. When Yacine Kheyari came up free with the goalie in the 87th minute, the Pell Lake AFC 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 Yacine Kheyari couldn't finish the play. After some fancy dribbling in the 89th minute, Rabah Morceli managed to get in a good position for a shot. San Augustine's supporters rose to their feet, but Rabah Morceli was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Anthar Meskine breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Yacine Kheyari fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 92nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Said Faudel having to interfere. Yacine Kheyari received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 94th minute. Said Faudel tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 96 minutes into the match, San Augustine's goal looked a bit too open when Yacine Kheyari came free, but Said Faudel reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
