League Play-Off

Sylvania Stadium
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The audience was convinced that Mustapha Belfaa's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Mohamed N'Soumer was relentless in the 3rd minute of the game. Lazhar Dahleb struck a weak shot in the 5th minute. Mohamed N'Soumer didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Wading River AFC. 6 minutes into the match, Mustapha Belfaa notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Sylvania FC's Mohamed N'Soumer. Mohamed N'Soumer was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Abdelhamid Chedda kicked well hit freekick during the 16th minute of the match. The supporters of Sylvania FC booed when Wading River AFC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 22 match minutes in a wonderful position. Mustapha Belfaa didn't get a good kick on the ball. Ismael Bouchemla received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 28th minute. Mohamed Aboulker tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Said Moll kicked well hit freekick during the 29th minute of the match. If Ismael Bouchemla had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 30th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Mustapha Belfaa in the 33rd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Mohamed N'Soumer saved Sylvania FC from getting behind. An unexpectedly hard shot by Mustapha Belfaa in the 38th minute of play forced Sylvania FC's goalkeeper Mohamed N'Soumer to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After a defensive mix-up in Wading River AFC's zone, Khalida Zenia stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Mohamed Aboulker came out of the goal and Khalida Zenia tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Mustapha Belfaa to make the kick off. 55 minutes into the game, Sylvania FC's Khalida Zenia nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Mohamed Aboulker made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-1. In the 68th minute Mustapha Belfaa shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Mohamed N'Soumer saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 69th minute, Lazhar Dahleb reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Mohamed N'Soumer. The goal made the score 1-2. Khalida Zenia's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Mohamed Aboulker read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 74th minute of play. Sylvania FC's Mohamed N'Soumer played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Mustapha Belfaa in the 77th minute of play. After 83 played minutes Wading River AFC got a freekick which was hit by Farid Hamruche. An unexpectedly hard shot by Khalida Zenia in the 86th minute of play forced Wading River AFC's goalkeeper Mohamed Aboulker to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Lazhar Dahleb fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 87th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Mohamed N'Soumer having to interfere. Mohamed N'Soumer made a fantastic save in the 91st minute, when Lazhar Dahleb sent off a good shot on target. When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy. Wading River AFC had managed to secure a win in what was a close match throughout.
