In the 23rd minute, Mohammed Mérah-Benida hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 23 played minutes, Norton's Mustapha Maroc shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Tayeb Fadhil Mohamed 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 Norton reached it. In the 26th minute the ball was on its way in behind Goldendale's goalkeeper Tayeb Fadhil Mohamed, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar.

Tayeb Fadhil Mohamed took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Abd el Bouzid, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.
