In the 14th minute Driss Mehenni shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Yamine Bouteflika saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 14 played minutes Selsdon FC got a freekick which was hit by Ilian Achiu. An unexpectedly hard shot by Driss Mehenni in the 16th minute of play forced Selsdon FC's goalkeeper Yamine Bouteflika to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 18 played minutes Annscroft United got a freekick which was hit by Ahmed Brahami. 19 minutes in the game, Kamel Ouar fired away an excellent shot, which passed to the side of the right post without Farouk Fillali having to interfere. After 21 played minutes Selsdon FC got a freekick which was hit by Abdelatif Fadhil. The audience was convinced that Driss Mehenni's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Yamine Bouteflika was relentless in the 25th minute of the game. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Kamel Ouar in the 30th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Farouk Fillali prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Abdelatif Fadhil fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 31st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Farouk Fillali having to interfere. Kamel Ouar's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Farouk Fillali read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 35th minute of play. Achik Zouba recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 38th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After 39 played minutes Annscroft United got a freekick which was hit by Iher Metidji. Yamine Bouteflika took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Driss Mehenni, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. If Kamel Ouar had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 47th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Driss Mehenni made a kick off. 1-0 became the score in the 53rd minute when Kamel Ouar elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. Annscroft United's Losif Ouenjelli shoveled away a really nice long shot in the 56th minute of play. The shot was stopped by Yamine Bouteflika but with some difficulty. In the 63rd minute, Driss Mehenni reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Yamine Bouteflika. The goal made the score 1-1. The supporters of Selsdon FC booed when Annscroft United was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 67 match minutes in a wonderful position. Bassi Hemdani didn't get a good kick on the ball.

With a little luck, Selsdon FC's Yamine Bouteflika got control of the ball when Achik Zouba tried to sneak it across the goal line. Achik Zouba fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 83rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Yamine Bouteflika having to interfere. Abdelatif Fadhil might have been able to make a better finish in the 89th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Farouk Fillali. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Abdelatif Fadhil ran back to his position shaking his head. Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
