Mack South
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Ahmed Hamrouche took the kick off in the first half of the match. Robert Chedda struck a weak shot in the 9th minute. Safy Sofiane didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for RPA Club.

Fateh Mammeri fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 21st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without René Bouazza having to interfere.

With an all-out effort, RPA Club's Safy Sofiane threw himself towards the right post 52 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Ahmed Hamrouche, which otherwise would have been placed in the net.
