Ogallala Park
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Maïssa Matoub took the kick off in the first half of the match. Nadir Kensi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 5th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Ogallala's Abd al-Asis Said shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 8th minute of play. The shot was stopped by Abdel Boutabout but with some difficulty. With a little luck, Country Club Hills's Abdel Boutabout got control of the ball when Nadir Kensi tried to sneak it across the goal line. 11 minutes into the game, Abd al-Asis Said was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Ogallala's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Country Club Hills the free kick. Abd al-Asis Said hit a great freekick 11 minutes into the match. Nadir Kensi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 22nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 1-0 became the score in the 25th minute when Halim Amara elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. Maïssa Matoub sent away a hard shot on goal in the 29th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Ogallala's Ferhat Fadhil Mohamed played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Mourad Souakri in the 31st minute of play. After a defensive mix-up in Ogallala's zone, Maïssa Matoub stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ferhat Fadhil Mohamed came out of the goal and Maïssa Matoub tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Abdel Boutabout was out of position in the 40 minute of play, and Halim Amara capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Halim Amara really showed his touch with that goal: 2-0. Abdel Boutabout took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Halim Amara, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Af the end of the first half the score was 2-0. The first half had gone as expected for the home team.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Halim Amara made a kick off. In the 51stth minute of the game Maïssa Matoub who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Ogallala's Ferhat Fadhil Mohamed was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. In the 53rd minute, Mounir Al-Jazairia hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When Halim Amara came up free with the goalie in the 55th minute, the Ogallala 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 Halim Amara couldn't finish the play. 59 minutes into the game, Maïssa Matoub recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Ferhat Fadhil Mohamed. Maïssa Matoub showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 2-1. After a rather tough play, Country Club Hills's Hocine Boutabout got a free kick in the 72nd minute. After a rather tough play, Ogallala's Rabah Kader got a free kick in the 75th minute. Mourad Souakri fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 82nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ferhat Fadhil Mohamed having to interfere. After having played for 86 minutes, Mourad Souakri managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Country Club Hills's supporters crossed their fingers, but Mourad Souakri was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Mourad Souakri struck a weak shot in the 88th minute. Ferhat Fadhil Mohamed didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Country Club Hills. Mourad Souakri received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 92nd minute. Ferhat Fadhil Mohamed tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Ferhat Fadhil Mohamed was out of position in the 96 minute of play, and Maïssa Matoub capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Maïssa Matoub really showed his touch with that goal: 2-2.
