League Play-Off

Fallon Stadium
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Ali Morceli took the kick off in the first half of the match. If Noureddine Cherrad had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 3rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 5 minutes into the match, Van Buren's goalkeeper Nasreddine Harkouk had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Abdellah Ibrir. When Abdelmalek Bezzaz fell near the penalty area in the 7th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Van Buren's protests and gave Abdelmalek Bezzaz a yellow card for diving instead. In the 7th minute, Abdelmalek Bezzaz hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 8th minute, Ali Morceli fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Nasreddine Harkouk, passed just outside the right post. Abdellah Ibrir sent away a hard shot on goal in the 10th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After having played for 13 minutes, Ali Morceli managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Fallon AFC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ali Morceli was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After 17 played minutes Van Buren got a freekick which was hit by Hicham Zerguelaine. Mourad Benida scored 0-1 in the 22nd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Krim Boukensa, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. With an all-out effort, Fallon AFC's Nasreddine Harkouk threw himself towards the right post 26 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Ali Morceli, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Abdellah Ibrir fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 30th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Nasreddine Harkouk having to interfere. Ali Morceli received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 32nd minute. Nasreddine Harkouk tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. With a little luck, Van Buren's Nasreddine Harkouk got control of the ball when Abdellah Ibrir tried to sneak it across the goal line. 37 minutes into the match, Van Buren's goalkeeper Nasreddine Harkouk had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Abdellah Ibrir. An unexpectedly hard shot by Hicham Zerguelaine in the 41st minute of play forced Fallon AFC's goalkeeper Krim Boukensa to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Krim Boukensa made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Hicham Zerguelaine in the 47th minute of play.

Ali Morceli recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 55th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Nasreddine Harkouk made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Abdellah Ibrir in the 58th minute of play. Noureddine Cherrad sent away a hard shot on goal in the 60th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Abdellah Ibrir scored 1-2 in the 66th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Nasreddine Harkouk, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Hicham Zerguelaine could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 75th minute of the match, but Krim Boukensa made a huge save. 79 minutes into the game, Zoheir Djamel cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-2. Nasreddine Harkouk was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. In the 87th minute, Abdellah Ibrir hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Hicham Zerguelaine sent away a hard shot on goal in the 92nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Abdellah Ibrir might have been able to make a better finish in the 95th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Nasreddine Harkouk. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Abdellah Ibrir ran back to his position shaking his head. When Abdellah Ibrir came up free with the goalie in the 96th minute, the Fallon AFC fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Abdellah Ibrir couldn't finish the play. Both teams had looked equal from kick-off, and no-one was surprised when the match finally ended in a draw.
