Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Sid Rimitti made the kick off and thus started the match. Hocine Badis struck a weak shot in the 3rd minute. Abdelmalek Bencheikh didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Dyer. In the 5th match minute, Dyer was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Nasreddine Toumi to maneuver through the defense. Abdelaziz Saïfi, 6 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. If Hocine Badis had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 8th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Sid Rimitti took the ball and in the 8 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Abdelmalek Bencheikh. Abdelmalek Bencheikh dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. Madjid Kouici showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Lakhdar Kouidri in the 12th minute of the match. Sid Rimitti recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 15th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Hocine Badis blasted a shot towards the goal in the 16th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Abdelmalek Bencheikh having to make a save. Sid Rimitti fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 20th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Abdelmalek Bencheikh having to interfere. Ahmed Saïfi blasted a shot towards the goal in the 28th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Madjid Kouici having to make a save. Madjid Kouici was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Lakhdar Kouidri showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 1-1 in the 30 minute of play. After 35 minutes, René Soltani mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Dyer and the Farmersville players grew even worse after the yellow card. A collision led to Dyer getting a freekick after 35 minutes play. René Soltani hit a great ball. Lakhdar Kouidri sent away a hard shot on goal in the 37th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 42 minutes into the match, Farmersville's goal looked a bit too open when Hocine Badis came free, but Abdelmalek Bencheikh reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Hocine Badis took the ball and in the 46 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Abdelmalek Bencheikh. Abdelmalek Bencheikh dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-2. Disappointed in the 1-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Lakhdar Kouidri stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. The crowd rose to their feet as Sid Rimitti kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Abdelmalek Bencheikh. That made the score 1-3 in the 59 minute of play. Hocine Badis sent away a hard shot on goal in the 65th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 67 minutes into the match, Sid Rimitti dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Abdelmalek Bencheikh, 1-4. 71 minutes into the match, Dyer's goal looked a bit too open when Ahmed Saïfi came free, but Madjid Kouici reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Abdelmalek Bencheikh made an important save on a dangerous shot by Hocine Badis in the 73rd minute. After having played for 83 minutes, Lakhdar Kouidri managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Farmersville's supporters crossed their fingers, but Lakhdar Kouidri was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Lakhdar Kouidri might have been able to make a better finish in the 93rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Madjid Kouici. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Lakhdar Kouidri ran back to his position shaking his head. Ahmed Saïfi received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 95th minute. Madjid Kouici tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.
