League Play-Off

Ingalls Stadium
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Madjid Saïdi-Sief had several of the Santa Ynez's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 4 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 1-0 score and a disappointed Abdelnacer Sami Yachir as he didn't even see the shot coming. After a rather tough play, Ingalls's Kamel Saadane got a free kick in the 12th minute. Lounès Kouri received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 21st minute. Abdelnacer Sami Yachir tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 23 minutes of play, Ingalls's Lounès Kouri made it 2-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Abdelnacer Sami Yachir was left in no man's land by his defense there! In the 27th minute Karim Zahouania shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Rachid Saïfi saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Madjid Saïdi-Sief in the 31stth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Abdelnacer Sami Yachir, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. After having played for 33 minutes, Madjid Saïdi-Sief managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Ingalls's supporters crossed their fingers, but Madjid Saïdi-Sief was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Maïssa Azem fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 34th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rachid Saïfi having to interfere. If Maïssa Azem had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 42nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 44 minutes into the match, Santa Ynez's Maïssa Azem sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Rachid Saïfi narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In the 45thth minute of the game Lounès Kouri who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Santa Ynez's Abdelnacer Sami Yachir 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.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Lounès Kouri made a kick off. Madjid Saïdi-Sief fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 62nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Abdelnacer Sami Yachir having to interfere. Madjid Saïdi-Sief struck a weak shot in the 66th minute. Abdelnacer Sami Yachir didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Ingalls. Madjid Saïdi-Sief took the ball and in the 69 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Abdelnacer Sami Yachir. Abdelnacer Sami Yachir dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 4-0. 73 minutes into the match, Santa Ynez's goal looked a bit too open when Madjid Saïdi-Sief came free, but Abdelnacer Sami Yachir reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Rachid Saïfi took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Karim Zahouania, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Madjid Saïdi-Sief sent away a hard shot on goal in the 80th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Maïssa Azem sent away a hard shot on goal in the 87th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Karim Zahouania fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 90th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Rachid Saïfi having to interfere. If Karim Zahouania had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 94th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Karim Zahouania came up free with the goalie in the 96th minute, the Santa Ynez 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 Karim Zahouania couldn't finish the play. The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The Ingalls fans cheered their team off the field, for while Santa Ynez had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
