Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) After 11 played minutes, Woodstown's Kamel Fellahi shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Halim Benida came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line.
