Wesleyville Park
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Karim Khalef started the match with the kick off. After a rather tough play, Wesleyville's Hameur Adjani got a free kick in the 8th minute. 14 minutes into the game, Winston AFC's Karim Khalef nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Karim Macias made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-1. If Karim Khalef had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 18th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 21st minute, Mohamed Ben Ahmed Liegeon made a precise shot to the right of Noureddine Yahi. Winston AFC's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-1. An unexpectedly hard shot by Karim Khalef in the 26th minute of play forced Wesleyville's goalkeeper Karim Macias to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 27 minutes Wesleyville's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Chaba Makkeb who took care of the corner kick. Chaba Makkeb made a great header on Winston AFC's corner, it was just that Wesleyville's Karim Macias managed to reach the ball for a save. Boubekeur Mouzaoui received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 29th minute. Karim Macias tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Ismael Mohamed's late challenge caught a Winston AFC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Ismael Mohamed helped the player get up and apologised. Ismael Mohamed kicked well hit freekick during the 32nd minute of the match. After 33 played minutes, Winston AFC's Chaba Makkeb shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Karim Macias 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 Winston AFC reached it. Mohamed Ben Ahmed Liegeon received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 35th minute. Noureddine Yahi tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Noureddine Yahi made an important save on a dangerous shot by Mohamed Ben Ahmed Liegeon in the 37th minute. Noureddine Yahi made a fantastic save in the 40th minute, when Anther Mami sent off a good shot on target. If Boubekeur Mouzaoui had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 42nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 45th minute, Hameur Adjani fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Hameur Adjani to strike the kick off in the second half. In the 51st minute, Assia Kensi hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. An unexpectedly hard shot by Boubekeur Mouzaoui in the 54th minute of play forced Wesleyville's goalkeeper Karim Macias to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 55th minute, Karim Khalef 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. After having played for 61 minutes, Boubekeur Mouzaoui managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Winston AFC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Boubekeur Mouzaoui was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Karim Macias made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Karim Khalef in the 63rd minute of play. In the 68th minute Mohamed Ben Ahmed Liegeon shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Noureddine Yahi saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Mohamed Ben Ahmed Liegeon sent away a hard shot on goal in the 71st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Anther Mami fell near the penalty area in the 78th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Wesleyville's protests and gave Anther Mami a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of Winston AFC booed when Wesleyville was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 78 match minutes in a wonderful position. Anther Mami didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 81st minute, Karim Khalef 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. A collision led to Wesleyville getting a freekick after 88 minutes play. Ismael Mohamed hit a great ball. Both teams had looked equal from kick-off, and no-one was surprised when the match finally ended in a draw.
