League Play-Off

Stone Mountain 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. Cheb Amsallem started the match with the kick off. Jussef Ben Said took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ali Said, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After some careless play in the FIRE-STONE defense, Ali Said kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Jussef Ben Said. The FIRE-STONE fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Jussef Ben Said should have stopped the shot. Ali Said recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 14th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. When Kamel Kafi came up free with the goalie in the 17th minute, the Summerfield AFC 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 Kamel Kafi couldn't finish the play. After 20 minutes, Mohammed Ahmed Ben Beloufa mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Summerfield AFC and the FIRE-STONE players grew even worse after the yellow card. Mohammed Ahmed Ben Beloufa hit a great freekick 20 minutes into the match. After a defensive mix-up in Summerfield AFC's zone, Cheb Amsallem stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Sid Ahmed Dahleb came out of the goal and Cheb Amsallem tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 23rd minute, Madhi Zaoui hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After having played for 27 minutes, Kamel Kafi managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Summerfield AFC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Kamel Kafi was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 28th minute, Abdelmalek Saïdi-Sief hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 29th minute, one of FIRE-STONE:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for FIRE-STONE. Jussef Ben Said made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Kamel Kafi in the 41st minute of play. Ali Said received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 43rd minute. Jussef Ben Said tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Jussef Ben Said stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Kamel Kafi's shot from short distance in the 46th minute. Maamar Matmour sent away a hard shot on goal in the 47th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Kamel Kafi might have been able to make a better finish in the 65th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Jussef Ben Said. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out.
