Lili Gaouaoui made an important save on a dangerous shot by Mourad Djamel in the 8th minute. After 9 minutes, Karim Boulmerka mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the St. Peters and the Day Heights AFC players grew even worse after the yellow card. Faouzi Bourebbou 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. After some fancy dribbling in the 18th minute, Mohammed Ahmed Zenia managed to get in a good position for a shot. Day Heights AFC's supporters rose to their feet, but Mohammed Ahmed Zenia was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Karim Dahleb breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 19th match minute, St. Peters was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Noureddine Boulebda to maneuver through the defense. When the match clock showed 26 minutes, the score became 1-0 when Hachemi Ighil sped through Day Heights AFC's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Lili Gaouaoui. In the 29th minute Faouzi Bourebbou shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Karim Dahleb saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Karim Boulmerka was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 31 minutes had been played. After 31 played minutes St. Peters got a freekick which was hit by Karim Boulmerka. In the 33rd minute Faouzi Bourebbou shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Karim Dahleb saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 36 minutes into the match, St. Peters's Hachemi Ighil sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Lili Gaouaoui narrowly saved just below the crossbar.

Tedj Reda Madouni's late challenge caught a St. Peters's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Tedj Reda Madouni helped the player get up and apologised.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Faouzi Bourebbou to strike the kick off in the second half. In the 59th minute, Faouzi Bourebbou got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. After a defensive mix-up in St. Peters's zone, Mohammed Ahmed Zenia stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Karim Dahleb came out of the goal and Mohammed Ahmed Zenia tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Hachemi Ighil got his second yellow card in the match during the 64th minute which meant that he had to leave the ground.

Faouzi Bourebbou succeeded in the game's 68th minute to shoot an unreachable shot under the crossbar and scored - 1-1. Mohammed Ahmed Zenia struck a weak shot in the 84th minute. Karim Dahleb didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Day Heights AFC. A collision led to St. Peters getting a freekick after 85 minutes play. Mourad Djamel hit a great ball. Mokdad Bouteflika charged in rather forcefully in the 94th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Mokdad Bouteflika the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of Day Heights AFC booed when St. Peters was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 94 match minutes in a wonderful position. Mokdad Bouteflika didn't get a good kick on the ball. A hard and well directed shot from Abdelhamid Boumedienne led 95 minutes into the game to a goal after the ball had bounced deceptively just in front of the goal. St. Peters's Karim Dahleb became a little unsure and couldn't grip the ball before it was over the goalline. Thus it was 1-2.
