Moonachie Stadium
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The supporters of Brookville booed when Moonachie FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 6 match minutes in a wonderful position. Hocine Bouchemla didn't get a good kick on the ball. Ahmed Bahari's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Krim Ouadah read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 17th minute of play. Krim Ouadah showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ahmed Bahari in the 19th minute of the match. In the 24th minute Mustapha Rahouli shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Lounès Soltani saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Moonachie FC's Krim Ouadah played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ahmed Bahari in the 26th minute of play. In the 29th minute Abdellah Amara shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Krim Ouadah saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 35th minute, Mustapha Rahouli managed to get in a good position for a shot. Moonachie FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Mustapha Rahouli was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Lounès Soltani breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. El Brahmi's late challenge caught a Moonachie FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. El Brahmi helped the player get up and apologised. In the 36th minute, El Brahmi hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 41 minutes into the match, Moonachie FC's Mehdi Ighil sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Lounès Soltani narrowly saved just below the crossbar. The first half was very even, with the score at 0-0 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Mustapha Rahouli to make the kick off. El Brahmi hit a great freekick 55 minutes into the match. After 56 played minutes, Moonachie FC's Karim Meriem shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Lounès Soltani came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Moonachie FC reached it. 60 minutes into the match, Moonachie FC's goal looked a bit too open when Abdellah Amara came free, but Krim Ouadah reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 61st minute, Hocine Bouchemla hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. A collision led to Brookville getting a freekick after 68 minutes play. Rachid Radjef hit a great ball. 69 minutes into the match, Moonachie FC's Karim Meriem broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. Krim Ouadah showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Abdellah Amara in the 80th minute of the match. Ahmed Bahari received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 86th minute. Krim Ouadah tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Krim Ouadah stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Abdellah Amara's shot from short distance in the 89th minute. Lounès Soltani took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Mustapha Rahouli, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Brookville's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
