Blackwood Stadium
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Abdel Méniri started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. 3 minutes into the match, Hicham Ben Khalidi notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Blackwood's Djamel Ammour. Djamel Ammour was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Souad Zidane showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Abdel Méniri in the 10th minute of the match. After 11 played minutes Blackwood got a freekick which was hit by Nourredine Saadane. Ismaïl Temmam received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 14th minute. Djamel Ammour tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Abdel Méniri came up free with the goalie in the 17th minute, the Blackwood 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 Abdel Méniri couldn't finish the play. A hard shot 18 in the game by Yacine Hasni from a close distance when the talented Souad Zidane managed to make a qualified save. Cedar Hill FC's players were relieved. Djamel Ammour stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Hicham Ben Khalidi's shot from short distance in the 23rd minute. If Hicham Ben Khalidi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 31st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Cedar Hill FC's Ismaïl Temmam got a good chance for a goal in the 36th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. When Nourredine Saadane came up free with the goalie in the 47th minute, the Blackwood 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 Nourredine Saadane couldn't finish the play. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-1.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Ismaïl Temmam made a kick off. Djamel Ammour showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ismaïl Temmam, who was totally free with the ball in the 54th minute. If Yacine Hasni had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 61st minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Ismaïl Temmam sent away a hard shot on goal in the 64th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 66 played minutes Cedar Hill FC got a freekick which was hit by Ismaël Touhami. An unexpectedly hard shot by Abdel Méniri in the 67th minute of play forced Cedar Hill FC's goalkeeper Souad Zidane to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 69th minute Yacine Hasni shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Souad Zidane saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Abdel Méniri received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 74th minute. Souad Zidane tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Abdel Méniri had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 76th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Souad Zidane took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Abdelmalek Madjer, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Hicham Ben Khalidi recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 83rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 85 minutes into the match, Hicham Ben Khalidi had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Djamel Ammour. Blackwood's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Hicham Ben Khalidi was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. In the 89th minute, Abdel Méniri got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. The Cedar Hill FC supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing Cedar Hill FC would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
