Snohomish
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Abdelmalek Cohen got the match started through his kick off. In the 3rd minute of the match Salah Ghozali shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Mouloud Djamel showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. 6 minutes into the game, Wheaton FC's Yazid Aboulker nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Mouloud Djamel made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-1. Daho Belhagj fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 12th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rabah Hasni having to interfere. When the match had gone on for 16 minutes, Maïssa Seghiri put it in 1-1 from a short distance just to the right of Rabah Hasni. Abdelmalek Cohen might have been able to make a better finish in the 40th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Mouloud Djamel. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Abdelmalek Cohen ran back to his position shaking his head. Snohomish AFC's Mouloud Djamel played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Yazid Aboulker in the 40th minute of play. Yazid Aboulker's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Mouloud Djamel read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 42nd minute of play. Maïssa Seghiri sent away a hard shot on goal in the 46th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 48th minute Maïssa Seghiri shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Rabah Hasni saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 1-1 after a close first half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Maïssa Seghiri was the one to do the kick off. Daho Liegeon received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 54th minute. Rabah Hasni tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 64th minute, Daho Belhagj left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Snohomish AFC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-1. In the 69th minute, Daho Belhagj 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. 73 minutes into the match, Wheaton FC's goal looked a bit too open when Daho Belhagj came free, but Rabah Hasni reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 76th minute, Abdelmalek Cohen fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Mouloud Djamel, passed just outside the right post. Rabah Hasni took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Maïssa Seghiri, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Reda Zeghdoud hit a great freekick 90 minutes into the match. The supporters of Wheaton FC booed when Snohomish AFC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 92 match minutes in a wonderful position. Karim Sad didn't get a good kick on the ball. Yazid Aboulker's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 94thth minute, Mouloud Djamel skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal. Mouloud Djamel was out of position in the 95 minute of play, and Abdelmalek Cohen capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Abdelmalek Cohen really showed his touch with that goal: 2-2.
