If Abdelhani Zaoui had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 3rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 5 minutes into the match, River Forest AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Hameur Belhadj came free, but Rachid Mamouni reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

Alondra AFC's Fodil Kensi got a good chance for a goal in the 42nd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.

River Forest AFC's defense didn't have a chance, in the 54th minute, when Hameur Belhadj scored to the left of an out of position Rachid Mamouni, making the score, 1-1. The audience was convinced that Abdelhani Zaoui's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Rachid Mamouni was relentless in the 58th minute of the game. In the 60th play minute Hameur Belhadj came free and shot an unsuspected shot which went into goal from the right pole behind a surprised Rachid Mamouni. 1-2. Hicham Kerbouche made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Said Azzizi-Kettab in the 64th minute of play. Hicham Kerbouche showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Said Azzizi-Kettab, who was totally free with the ball in the 74th minute. Abdelhani Zaoui was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 77th minute. Alondra 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 81st minute, Fodil Kensi made a precise shot to the right of Rachid Mamouni. River Forest AFC's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-3. Hameur Belhadj's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 85thth minute, Rachid Mamouni skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal.

Abdelhani Zaoui ran back to his position shaking his head. If Abdelhani Zaoui had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 90th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead.

When the match was over Alondra AFC could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than River Forest AFC throughout the match.
