League Play-Off

Running Springs 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. Bellemou Faudel started the match with the kick off. After a defensive mix-up in Running Springs's zone, Bellemou Faudel stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Mohamed Sakhri came out of the goal and Bellemou Faudel tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Ismael Piaf sent away a hard shot on goal in the 8th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 9th minute, Yazid Abrika hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After some fancy dribbling in the 10th minute, Ismael Piaf managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ferguson AFC's supporters rose to their feet, but Ismael Piaf was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Mohamed Sakhri breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Ismaël Belmellat sent away a hard shot on goal in the 15th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 21st minute, Ismaël Belmellat hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.

Ferguson AFC's Ismael Piaf got a good chance for a goal in the 30th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. The audience thought a goal was coming when Camel Benchenaa got free with Hamid Akrour in the 33rd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 39th minute Ismael Piaf shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Mohamed Sakhri saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Bellemou Sam fell near the penalty area in the 39th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Running Springs's protests and gave Bellemou Sam a yellow card for diving instead. In the 40th minute, Bellemou Sam hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Mohamed Sakhri took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Bellemou Faudel, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Camel Benchenaa had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 42nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Camel Benchenaa fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 46th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Hamid Akrour having to interfere.

Mohamed Sakhri showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Bellemou Faudel in the 62nd minute of the match. 69 minutes into the match, Running Springs's goal looked a bit too open when Bellemou Faudel came free, but Mohamed Sakhri reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After a rather tough play, Running Springs's Yazid Abrika got a free kick in the 70th minute.
