Islandia
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Abdelaziz Asma took the kick off in the first half of the match. The supporters of Islandia AFC booed when Shawnee was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 17 match minutes in a wonderful position. Mouloud Brahami didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 20th match minute, Islandia AFC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Mohammad Boutabout to maneuver through the defense. After having played for 22 minutes, Abdel Madjer managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Shawnee's supporters crossed their fingers, but Abdel Madjer was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. If Mohamed Mohamed had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 27th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 35th minute, Mohammad Boutabout hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When the match clock showed 37 minutes, the score became 1-1 when Abdelaziz Asma sped through Islandia AFC's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Maïssa Brahami. Karim Benbitour was a little too slow when Charles El-Kenz got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 44th minute. The score was now 2-1. After 48 played minutes Shawnee got a freekick which was hit by Djamal Djura. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 3-1.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Charles El-Kenz made a kick off. An unexpected shot in the 62nd minute by Abdel Madjer got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. An unexpectedly hard shot by Charles El-Kenz in the 65th minute of play forced Shawnee's goalkeeper Karim Benbitour to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Shawnee's Abdel Madjer got a good chance for a goal in the 66th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Mohamed Mohamed kicked well hit freekick during the 74th minute of the match. 3-2 became the score in the 76th minute when Abdelaziz Asma elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. An unexpectedly hard shot by Mohammad Boutabout in the 80th minute of play forced Shawnee's goalkeeper Karim Benbitour to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Abdelaziz Asma fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 81st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Maïssa Brahami having to interfere. 88 minutes into the match, Abdelaziz Asma dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Maïssa Brahami, 3-3. If Abdelaziz Asma had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 92nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead.

After 95 played minutes Islandia AFC got a freekick which was hit by Mohammad Boutabout. In the 96th minute, Mustapha Karim Belkassem sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Islandia AFC's Maïssa Brahami didn't even have to move. Charles El-Kenz scored 4-3 in the 101st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Karim Benbitour, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Islandia AFC's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
