Ferguson Park
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Cheb Baroudi made the kick off which started today's match. After some fancy dribbling in the 3rd minute, Fouad Cherfa managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ferguson AFC's supporters rose to their feet, but Fouad Cherfa was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Nadir Benhabiles breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Hamid Akrour made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Cheb Baroudi in the 5th minute of play. In the 6th minute Cheb Baroudi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Hamid Akrour saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Cheb Baroudi came up free with the goalie in the 9th minute, the Huntley 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 Cheb Baroudi couldn't finish the play. 11 minutes into the match, Ferguson AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Cheb Baroudi came free, but Hamid Akrour reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Cheb Baroudi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 16th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Hamid Akrour having to interfere. 24 minutes into the match, Ferguson AFC's Ismael Piaf sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Nadir Benhabiles narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In the 40th minute, Cheb Baroudi 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. Belmadi Amirouche sent away a hard shot on goal in the 42nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Ismael Piaf sent away a hard shot on goal in the 47th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. The score stood at 0-0 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

The wind increased when Bellemou Faudel made the kick off in the second half. Hamid Akrour made a fantastic save in the 57th minute, when Belmadi Amirouche sent off a good shot on target. In the 63rd minute, Cheb Baroudi hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Bellemou Faudel struck a weak shot in the 64th minute. Nadir Benhabiles didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Ferguson AFC. After a defensive mix-up in Huntley's zone, Mustapha Harkat stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Nadir Benhabiles came out of the goal and Mustapha Harkat tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Ismael Piaf fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 72nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Nadir Benhabiles having to interfere. A collision led to Huntley getting a freekick after 73 minutes play. Noureddine Metref hit a great ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Bellemou Faudel in the 74th minute of play forced Huntley's goalkeeper Nadir Benhabiles to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 76 minutes into the match, Huntley's goal looked a bit too open when Ismael Piaf came free, but Nadir Benhabiles reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Hamid Akrour didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Belmadi Amirouche went, in the 80th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. In the 83rd minute Ismael Piaf shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Nadir Benhabiles saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Belmadi Amirouche fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 96th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Hamid Akrour having to interfere. The Ferguson AFC fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Huntley were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
