Faouzi Mansouri received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 2nd minute. Kateb Megharia tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 7 played minutes, Craigsville's Assia Nabil shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Kateb Megharia came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Craigsville reached it. After having played for 11 minutes, Rabah Harkouk managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Crozet AFC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Rabah Harkouk was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 13th minute, Rabah Harkouk managed to get in a good position for a shot.

Faouzi Mansouri received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 29th minute. Kateb Megharia tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 32 minutes into the match, Craigsville's goal looked a bit too open when Rabah Harkouk came free, but Mohamed Brahimi reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Kateb Megharia showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Khair ad-Din Mérah-Benida in the 42nd minute of the match. If Mansour Djeballi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 47th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Khair ad-Din Mérah-Benida stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Kateb Megharia came out of the goal in the 52nd minute to try and stop a shot by Craigsville's Khair ad-Din Mérah-Benida. But to his dismay, Khair ad-Din Mérah-Benida quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-0. Kateb Megharia made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Faouzi Mansouri in the 63rd minute of play. In the 65th minute, Khair ad-Din Mérah-Benida 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.

Faouzi Mansouri sent away a hard shot on goal in the 77th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. Mansour Djeballi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 81st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

After a defensive mix-up in Crozet AFC's zone, Hamid Liegeon stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.
