After some fancy dribbling in the 10th minute, Salah Benbitour managed to get in a good position for a shot. South Fallsburg's supporters rose to their feet, but Salah Benbitour was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Karim Piaf breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Souad Megharia hit a great freekick 11 minutes into the match.

After 23 minutes of play, Graysville FC's Souad Megharia made it 1-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Hachemi Assad was left in no man's land by his defense there! Ahmed Madouni fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 26th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Karim Piaf having to interfere. If Salah Benbitour had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 28th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

In the 48th minute, Assia Khalef left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Graysville FC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-1.

Assia Khalef sent away a hard shot on goal in the 63rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a defensive mix-up in South Fallsburg's zone, Karim Bouazza stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Hachemi Assad came out of the goal and Karim Bouazza tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.

When Assia Khalef came up free with the goalie in the 97th minute, the Graysville FC 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 Assia Khalef couldn't finish the play. South Fallsburg's players left the field with heads hung low after losing a match that had been finely balanced throughout.
