When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Hocine Daham made a kick off. Zīn ud-Dīn Harkat could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 54th minute of the match, but Abdelaziz Liegeon made a huge save.

Amine Morceli charged in rather forcefully in the 59th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Amine Morceli the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of Fort Lee booed when Calistoga FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 59 match minutes in a wonderful position. Amine Morceli didn't get a good kick on the ball. Abdelaziz Liegeon made an important save on a dangerous shot by Zīn ud-Dīn Harkat in the 65th minute.

After some fancy dribbling in the 72nd minute, Ahmed Abdenouz managed to get in a good position for a shot. Fort Lee's supporters rose to their feet, but Ahmed Abdenouz was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.

Rafik Benaouf showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Hocine Daham in the 73rd minute of the match.

Hocine Daham sent away a hard shot on goal in the 81st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a defensive mix-up in Calistoga FC's zone, Hocine Daham stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Rafik Benaouf came out of the goal and Hocine Daham tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. A collision led to Calistoga FC getting a freekick after 93 minutes play. Said Fellahi hit a great ball. It was beautiful to see Fort Lee's Lakhdar Guendouz in action when he in the 95th minute dribbled his way through a couple of opponents and the fired away a shot from almost standing still. First the ball seemed to get in, but turned out to be on the outside of the net. A great chance!
