C҉H҉I҉-҉R҉A҉Q҉ աɛֆȶ
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, 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. Billel Bezzaz started the match with the kick off. Mansour Hemdani received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 5th minute. Kamel Macias tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. With splendid footwork Cheb Benbitour arrived in front of goal to shoot 1-0 by the left pole in the game's 7th minute. Billel Bezzaz's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Kamel Macias read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 10th minute of play. After 15 minutes, Houari Djamel mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the FENERBAHCE and the C҉H҉I҉-҉R҉A҉Q҉ players grew even worse after the yellow card. The supporters of C҉H҉I҉-҉R҉A҉Q҉ booed when FENERBAHCE was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 15 match minutes in a wonderful position. Houari Djamel didn't get a good kick on the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Jean Labi in the 18th minute of play forced C҉H҉I҉-҉R҉A҉Q҉'s goalkeeper Halim Hemdani to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Billel Bezzaz fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 29th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Kamel Macias having to interfere. If Houari Djamel had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 38th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After having played for 41 minutes, Billel Bezzaz managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. C҉H҉I҉-҉R҉A҉Q҉'s supporters crossed their fingers, but Billel Bezzaz was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. 45 minutes into the match, FENERBAHCE's goal looked a bit too open when Billel Bezzaz came free, but Kamel Macias reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. All the noise was coming from the home fans when the whistle went for half-time. The home team had fought hardest to put themselves in a deserved lead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Jean Labi to strike the kick off in the second half. After a defensive mix-up in FENERBAHCE's zone, Cheb Benbitour stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Kamel Macias came out of the goal and Cheb Benbitour tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. If Billel Bezzaz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 58th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Kamel Macias took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Billel Bezzaz, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. C҉H҉I҉-҉R҉A҉Q҉'s defense didn't have a chance, in the 64th minute, when Jean Labi scored to the left of an out of position Halim Hemdani, making the score, 2-1. After some fancy dribbling in the 66th minute, Cheb Benbitour managed to get in a good position for a shot. C҉H҉I҉-҉R҉A҉Q҉'s supporters rose to their feet, but Cheb Benbitour was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Kamel Macias breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Kamel Macias made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Billel Bezzaz in the 70th minute of play. Noureddine Belaout's late challenge caught a C҉H҉I҉-҉R҉A҉Q҉'s player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Noureddine Belaout helped the player get up and apologised. After 71 played minutes FENERBAHCE got a freekick which was hit by Noureddine Belaout. In the 74th minute the ball was on its way in behind FENERBAHCE's goalkeeper Kamel Macias, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Cheb Benbitour received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 75th minute. Kamel Macias tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 77 minutes of play, FENERBAHCE's Noureddine Belaout made it 2-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Halim Hemdani was left in no man's land by his defense there! Kamel Macias showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Billel Bezzaz in the 86th minute of the match. Houari Djamel got his second yellow card in the match during the 87th minute which meant that he had to leave the ground. After 87 played minutes FENERBAHCE got a freekick which was hit by Houari Djamel. 92 minutes into the match, FENERBAHCE's goal looked a bit too open when Billel Bezzaz came free, but Kamel Macias reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
