Karim Hamdani was out of position in the 4 minute of play, and Amrani Ighil capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Amrani Ighil really showed his touch with that goal: 1-0. A collision led to Weirton AFC getting a freekick after 11 minutes play. Abderrachid Khadra hit a great ball.

Ismael Chaouchi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 25th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
