Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Abdelmalek Cohen-Tannoudji got the match started through his kick off. After a rather tough play, Alorton AFC's Cheb Halimi got a free kick in the 4th minute. Faouzi Amri's late challenge caught a Alorton AFC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Faouzi Amri helped the player get up and apologised. A collision led to Leisure Village getting a freekick after 15 minutes play. Faouzi Amri hit a great ball. In the 16th minute, Mebarek Hemdani sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Leisure Village's Maïssa Belfaa didn't even have to move. 19 minutes into the match, Abdelmalek Cohen-Tannoudji had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Krim Menad. Alorton AFC's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Abdelmalek Cohen-Tannoudji was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. In the 23rd minute the ball was on its way in behind Alorton AFC's goalkeeper Krim Menad, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. In the 26th minute, Belaid Djamel 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. After a rather tough play, Alorton AFC's Cheb Halimi got a free kick in the 27th minute.

After some fancy dribbling in the 37th minute, Nabil Azzizi-Kettab managed to get in a good position for a shot. Alorton AFC's supporters rose to their feet, but Nabil Azzizi-Kettab was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Maïssa Belfaa breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 39th minute, Mourad Hima 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. Noureddine Cohen charged in rather forcefully in the 42nd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Noureddine Cohen the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 42 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Leisure Village! Disappointed in the 0-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Nabil Azzizi-Kettab stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Mohammad Boutabout hit a great freekick 53 minutes into the match. Leisure Village's Abdelmalek Cohen-Tannoudji got a good chance for a goal in the 57th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After 58 played minutes Alorton AFC got a freekick which was hit by Lakhdar Megharia. After 63 played minutes, Alorton AFC's Ahmed Mohamed shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Maïssa Belfaa 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 Alorton AFC reached it. Krim Menad didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Belaid Djamel went, in the 64th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-3 was the resulting score. 69 minutes into the game, Cheb Halimi was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Alorton AFC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Leisure Village the free kick. After 69 played minutes Alorton AFC got a freekick which was hit by Cheb Halimi. Belaid Djamel came free with the goalkeeper in the 70th minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Krim Menad could save by the left post. Maïssa Belfaa showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Nabil Azzizi-Kettab, who was totally free with the ball in the 74th minute. In the 75th minute Mourad Hima shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Maïssa Belfaa saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 80th minute, Nabil Azzizi-Kettab ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Maïssa Belfaa was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-3. Mohammad Boutabout took the ball and in the 85 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Krim Menad. Krim Menad dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-4. Belaid Djamel received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 90th minute. Krim Menad tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Leisure Village's supporters were very happy and cheered loudly because their team had won after a very close match.
