League Play-Off

Abingdon Park
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Guillaume Laurent Hadj Aïssa kicked off to start the match. Abingdon FC's Mansour Badis couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 6th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Gulivoire AFC. Mourad Mohamed fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 17th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Hocine Merzekane having to interfere. In the 20th minute, Chaba Liegeon hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Reda Bahari might have been able to make a better finish in the 23rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Hocine Merzekane. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Reda Bahari ran back to his position shaking his head. Hocine Merzekane showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Reda Bahari in the 28th minute of the match. If Mourad Mohamed had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 39th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Gulivoire AFC's Yacine Hima played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Guillaume Laurent Hadj Aïssa in the 43rd minute of play. Mourad Mohamed received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 46th minute. Hocine Merzekane tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

Hocine Merzekane showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Reda Bahari, who was totally free with the ball in the 53rd minute. Jean Ammour scored 1-0 in the 64th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Yacine Hima, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. An unexpectedly hard shot by Reda Bahari in the 67th minute of play forced Abingdon FC's goalkeeper Hocine Merzekane to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. A collision led to Abingdon FC getting a freekick after 68 minutes play. Abdelmalek Fergani hit a great ball. Benamar Fadela recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 71st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 83 minutes into the match, Abingdon FC's goalkeeper Hocine Merzekane had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Mourad Mohamed. 90 minutes into the match, Gulivoire AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Guillaume Laurent Hadj Aïssa came free, but Yacine Hima reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The crowd rose to their feet and cheered when the referee blew the final whistle. Abingdon FC had won after a very even match.
