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. Tedj Bencheikh started the match with the kick off. Karim Said received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 7th minute. Abdelhamid Cohen tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 11th minute, Hamid Barbarossa hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 18 minutes into the match, Lakes by the Bay FC's goal looked a bit too open when Tedj Bencheikh came free, but Nabil Djebar reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 20 minutes in the game, Tedj Bencheikh fired away an excellent shot, which passed to the side of the right post without Nabil Djebar having to interfere.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Karim Said stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. When Rafik El-Ouafi was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 62 minutes had been played.

In the 67th minute Hameur Cohen shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Nabil Djebar saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Nouredine Hanin kicked well hit freekick during the 69th minute of the match. Sofiane Meriem took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 70th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Nabil Djebar. Lakes by the Bay FC's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. The audience thought a goal was coming when Abdel Mouzaoui got free with Abdelhamid Cohen in the 73rd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Karim Zidān fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 76th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Abdelhamid Cohen having to interfere.

Abdel Mouzaoui recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 95th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. The supporters of Lakes by the Bay FC booed when North Seekonk AFC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 96 match minutes in a wonderful position. Tedj Bencheikh didn't get a good kick on the ball. Madjid Sakhri was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 97th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. The second half was just like the first, even and exciting. The match ended in a draw.
