Preston Heights
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Preston Heights's Fadel Raho started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. Abdelnacer Zarabi made a fantastic save in the 8th minute, when Djamel Yacef sent off a good shot on target. Djamel Yacef in the 12thth 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 Zarabi, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. Seminole's Abdelnacer Zarabi played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Fadel Raho in the 15th minute of play. If Mustapha Zéroual had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 23rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 29 minutes into the match, Seminole's goal looked a bit too open when Fadel Raho came free, but Abdelnacer Zarabi reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Djamel Yacefs short, quick shot in the 31stth minute got Abdelnacer Zarabi to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Abdelnacer Zarabi came out of the goal in the 44th minute to try and stop a shot by Preston Heights's Djamel Yacef. But to his dismay, Djamel Yacef quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 2-0. 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.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Chadli Kouidri to make the kick off. 51 minutes into the game, Chadli Kouidri recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Abdelhamid Cohen. Chadli Kouidri showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 2-1. Djamel Yacef blasted a shot towards the goal in the 56th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Abdelnacer Zarabi having to make a save. In the 57th minute the ball was on its way in behind Seminole's goalkeeper Abdelnacer Zarabi, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The audience was convinced that Chadli Kouidri's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Abdelhamid Cohen was relentless in the 64th minute of the game. Abdelhamid Cohen made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Chadli Kouidri in the 73rd minute of play. Fadel Raho received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 77th minute. Abdelnacer Zarabi tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Fadel Raho fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 79th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Abdelnacer Zarabi having to interfere. Chadli Kouidri sent away a hard shot on goal in the 83rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Mustapha Zéroual's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Abdelhamid Cohen read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 85th minute of play. In the 87th match minute, Seminole was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Bouzid Zahouania to maneuver through the defense. Preston Heights's Ahmed Chedda couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 88th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Seminole. In the 93rd match minute, Seminole was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Thelma Belkacem to maneuver through the defense. After having played for 94 minutes, Fadel Raho managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Preston Heights's supporters crossed their fingers, but Fadel Raho was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Preston Heights's attack was well implemented in the 96th minute, but when Djamel Yacef was about to shoot he didn't get a good hit on the ball and it hit the crossbar and flew over. Goal Kick. Seminole's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
