The supporters of Magee booed when Lakeview was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 31 match minutes in a wonderful position. Noureddine Dahleb didn't get a good kick on the ball.

The supporters of Lakeview booed when Magee was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 38 match minutes in a wonderful position. René Guessoum didn't get a good kick on the ball. After 39 played minutes, Lakeview's Hicham Medaci shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Meziane N'Soumer came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Lakeview reached it. Meziane N'Soumer showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Rachid Taha, who was totally free with the ball in the 42nd minute. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Sid Hanin stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Sid Hanin's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Tedj Bella read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 54th minute of play. Magee's Meziane N'Soumer played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Rachid Taha in the 58th minute of play. If Sid Hanin had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 61st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a rather tough play, Magee's Ahmed Liegeon got a free kick in the 68th minute. After some fancy dribbling in the 69th minute, Rachid Taha managed to get in a good position for a shot. Lakeview's supporters rose to their feet, but Rachid Taha was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.

Meziane N'Soumer made an important save on a dangerous shot by Kamel Feraoun in the 76th minute. Rachid Taha was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 79th minute.
