League Play-Off

Gillette Park
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Yazid Guendouz started the match with the kick off. A collision led to Davison AFC getting a freekick after 2 minutes play. Alain el Ibrahimi hit a great ball. Nassim Piaf sent away a hard shot on goal in the 5th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Yazid Guendouz recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 7th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Nassim Piaf in the 9th minute of play forced Gillette's goalkeeper Chadli Khaldi to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Yazid Guendouz struck a weak shot in the 15th minute. Chadli Khaldi didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Davison AFC. Chadli Khaldi showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Nassim Piaf, who was totally free with the ball in the 16th minute. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Yazid Guendouz in the 20th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Chadli Khaldi saved Gillette from getting behind. In the 23rd minute Yazid Guendouz shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Chadli Khaldi saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Nassim Piaf fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 26th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Chadli Khaldi having to interfere. The audience was convinced that Tedj Radjef's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Chadli Khaldi was relentless in the 28th minute of the game. When Cheikha Bruel fell near the penalty area in the 32nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Gillette's protests and gave Cheikha Bruel a yellow card for diving instead. After a rather tough play, Gillette's Cheikha Bruel got a free kick in the 32nd minute. In the 33rd minute, Yazid Guendouz ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Chadli Khaldi was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. Abdulhamid Arrache fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 38th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Cheb Liegeon having to interfere. After 40 played minutes Davison AFC got a freekick which was hit by Yazid Guendouz. Abdulhamid Arrache had several of the Davison AFC's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 41 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 1-1 score and a disappointed Cheb Liegeon as he didn't even see the shot coming. Cheb Liegeon made an important save on a dangerous shot by Abdulhamid Arrache in the 48th minute. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

The wind increased when Mohamed Kouidri made the kick off in the second half. Mohamed Kouidri sent away a hard shot on goal in the 53rd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. In the 60th minute of the match Ferhat El-Hadi shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Cheb Liegeon showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Yazid Guendouz in the 62nd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Chadli Khaldi saved Gillette from getting behind. In the 68th minute of the match Alain el Ibrahimi sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Chadli Khaldi skillfully saved the ball. 71 minutes into the match, Abdulhamid Arrache notched a goal, 2-1, to the right of Davison AFC's Cheb Liegeon. Cheb Liegeon was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. If Yazid Guendouz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 82nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Yazid Guendouz in the 84th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Chadli Khaldi prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Nassim Piaf who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 85thth minute tested the skills of Chadli Khaldi when he managed to save the team from getting behind. The audience thought a goal was coming when Nassim Piaf got free with Chadli Khaldi in the 92nd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort.
