League Play-Off

North Plymouth
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Noureddine Mesbah took the kick off in the first half of the match. In the 4th minute Faouzi Massi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Lakhdar Sami Yachir saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Lakhdar Sami Yachir showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Nourredine Ouyahia in the 16th minute of the match. A collision led to Sloan getting a freekick after 16 minutes play. Albert Firoud hit a great ball. In the 21st minute, Noureddine Mesbah ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Kateb Macias was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. Mohammad Cherrad could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 38th minute of the match, but Lakhdar Sami Yachir made a huge save. After 39 minutes, Albert Firoud mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Sloan and the North Plymouth FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. After some fancy dribbling in the 41st minute, Mohammad Cherrad managed to get in a good position for a shot. North Plymouth FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Mohammad Cherrad was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Lakhdar Sami Yachir breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. An unexpectedly hard shot by Maïssa Mesbah in the 45th minute of play forced North Plymouth FC's goalkeeper Kateb Macias to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Tayeb Nabil kicked well hit freekick during the 48th minute of the match.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Nourredine Ouyahia to strike the kick off in the second half. 52 minutes into the match, North Plymouth FC's goal looked a bit too open when Albert Firoud came free, but Kateb Macias reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The audience thought a goal was coming when Robert Khendu got free with Kateb Macias in the 55th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Sloan's Lakhdar Sami Yachir played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Nourredine Ouyahia in the 61st minute of play. Lakhdar Sami Yachir took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Nourredine Ouyahia, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Noureddine Mesbah had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 64th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Nourredine Ouyahia in the 70th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Lakhdar Sami Yachir saved Sloan from getting behind. The audience was convinced that Mohammad Cherrad's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Lakhdar Sami Yachir was relentless in the 72nd minute of the game.
