Oxford HeLL
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. Lakhdar Soltani started the match with the kick off. After a rather tough play, ČH∆ΠG£…Π∆M£'s Hachemi Djaout got a free kick in the 4th minute. When Mimoun Kensi came up free with the goalie in the 6th minute, the ČH∆ΠG£…Π∆M£ 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 Mimoun Kensi couldn't finish the play. Lakhdar Soltani received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 9th minute. Abd al-Asis Mezair tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. ČH∆ΠG£…Π∆M£'s Abd al-Asis Mezair played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Mohammed Ahmed Sofiane in the 11th minute of play. Abd al-Asis Mezair made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Mohammed Ahmed Sofiane in the 13th minute of play. In the 15th minute the ball was on its way in behind ČH∆ΠG£…Π∆M£'s goalkeeper Abd al-Asis Mezair, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Mimoun Kensi succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 1-0 in the 17th playminute. Mohamed Boudjedra fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 28th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Mustapha Seghiri having to interfere. Mustapha Seghiri didn't succeed in stopping the ball in the 31st minute, which inside left pole to 2-0. Mohammed Ahmed Sofiane blasted a shot towards the goal in the 35th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Abd al-Asis Mezair having to make a save. In the 39th minute Mohammed Ahmed Sofiane shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Abd al-Asis Mezair saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Lakhdar Soltani received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 41st minute.

In the 44thth minute of the game Mohammed Ahmed Sofiane who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but ČH∆ΠG£…Π∆M£'s Abd al-Asis Mezair was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. 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 players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Mohamed Boudjedra was the one to do the kick off. After some fancy dribbling in the 52nd minute, Mohammed Ahmed Sofiane managed to get in a good position for a shot. Highview's supporters rose to their feet, but Mohammed Ahmed Sofiane was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Abd al-Asis Mezair breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 56th minute, Karim Arrache hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 60 minutes into the match, Mimoun Kensi notched a goal, 3-0, to the right of Highview's Mustapha Seghiri. Mustapha Seghiri was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. ČH∆ΠG£…Π∆M£'s Mimoun Kensi got a good chance for a goal in the 68th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by El Saïfi during the 69th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After 70 played minutes Highview got a freekick which was hit by El Saïfi. An unexpectedly hard shot by Mohamed Boudjedra in the 82nd minute of play forced Highview's goalkeeper Mustapha Seghiri to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 84th minute the ball was on its way in behind ČH∆ΠG£…Π∆M£'s goalkeeper Abd al-Asis Mezair, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Highview's Mohammed Ahmed Sofiane got a good chance for a goal in the 87th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.
