Spectators: 6756 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1756, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Bouzid Douibi kicked off to start the match. 3 minutes into the match, Great Lumley's goal looked a bit too open when Chih Nasri came free, but Idriss Salhi reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Idriss Salhi showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Chih Nasri, who was totally free with the ball in the 6th minute. 7 minutes into the match, Thrybergh's Abdelnacer Benguergoura sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Idriss Salhi narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Abdelnacer Benguergoura received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 18th minute. Idriss Salhi tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Bouzid Douibi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 22nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Chih Nasri might have been able to make a better finish in the 24th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Idriss Salhi. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Chih Nasri ran back to his position shaking his head. Idriss Salhi came out of the goal in the 26th minute to try and stop a shot by Thrybergh's Abdelnacer Benguergoura. But to his dismay, Abdelnacer Benguergoura quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. In the 30th minute, Abdelnacer Benguergoura made a precise shot to the right of Idriss Salhi. Great Lumley's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-2. Idriss Salhi showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Abdelnacer Benguergoura, who was totally free with the ball in the 40th minute. Idriss Salhi took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Abdelnacer Benguergoura, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Abdelnacer Benguergoura made a kick off. If Abdelnacer Benguergoura had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 53rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Abdelnacer Benguergoura in the 57th minute of play forced Great Lumley's goalkeeper Idriss Salhi to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Hamid Bedrina's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Raouf Belbey read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 60th minute of play. Raouf Belbey showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Hamid Bedrina, who was totally free with the ball in the 61st minute. After a rather tough play, Thrybergh's Hocine Saïb got a free kick in the 62nd minute. Hamid Bedrina sent away a hard shot on goal in the 65th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Chih Nasri struck a weak shot in the 75th minute. Idriss Salhi didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Thrybergh. Belkheir Hadfi's late challenge caught a Great Lumley's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Belkheir Hadfi helped the player get up and apologised. In the 84th minute there was a penalty for Great Lumley. Ahaszzi El Ouazzani stepped forward and shot the ball to the right of a diving Raouf Belbey. 2-2. In the 87th minute Youssef Dziri shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Raouf Belbey saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Raouf Belbey made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Hamid Bedrina in the 92nd minute of play. Great Lumley's Bouzid Douibi got a good chance for a goal in the 95th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Zahid Guerroum kicked well hit freekick during the 96th minute of the match. Bouzid Douibi received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 97th minute. Raouf Belbey tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Both teams had looked equal from kick-off, and no-one was surprised when the match finally ended in a draw.
