Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Mohamed Massi made the kick off which started today's match. In the 4th minute the ball was on its way in behind Colonial's goalkeeper Mourad Lemoui, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The supporters of South Bradenton booed when Colonial was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 5 match minutes in a wonderful position. Chih Raho didn't get a good kick on the ball. A hard shot 15 in the game by Meziane Hadjadj from a close distance when the talented Mourad Lemoui managed to make a qualified save. Colonial's players were relieved. Ahmed Laura Douibi stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Abdelhamid Moussa's shot from short distance in the 17th minute. After a rather tough play, South Bradenton's Karim Oussalah got a free kick in the 18th minute. Said Fadela hit a great freekick 19 minutes into the match.

After 65 played minutes, Colonial's Yazid Merah-Benida shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Ahmed Laura Douibi 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 Colonial reached it. Said Fadela recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 68th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. With a little luck, South Bradenton's Ahmed Laura Douibi got control of the ball when Said Fadela tried to sneak it across the goal line.
