Spectators: 6758 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1758, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Rayane Benguesmia started the match with the kick off. Fares Moussaoui received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 4th minute. Fares Mammeri tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Fares Mammeri made a fantastic save in the 7th minute, when Allaoua Kerbouche sent off a good shot on target. Ash's Fares Mammeri played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Fares Moussaoui in the 8th minute of play. Anaba Mesbah showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Rayane Benguesmia in the 11th minute of the match. Hamza Béchar fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 19th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Anaba Mesbah having to interfere. In the 20th minute, Saadi Dennane hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 24 played minutes Ash got a freekick which was hit by Jawed Djebar. With a little luck, Ash's Fares Mammeri got control of the ball when Rochdi Nasro tried to sneak it across the goal line. Rochdi Nasro's late challenge caught a Ash's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Rochdi Nasro helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Whitstable's Rochdi Nasro got a free kick in the 26th minute. Rayane Benguesmia received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 29th minute. Anaba Mesbah tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 32nd minute Fares Moussaoui shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Fares Mammeri saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Ash's Fares Mammeri proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 36th minute of the match, managed to save Ash from getting a goal against them. When Whitstable's Allaoua Kerbouche, in the 42nd minute, received a pass right in front of the net, it looked like a certain goal, but his shot went outside. A wasted opportunity for Whitstable. Allaoua Kerbouche fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 47th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Fares Mammeri having to interfere. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 0-0 after a close first half.

Allaoua Kerbouche recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 52nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After having played for 54 minutes, Allaoua Kerbouche managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Whitstable's supporters crossed their fingers, but Allaoua Kerbouche was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After some fancy dribbling in the 57th minute, Rayane Benguesmia managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ash's supporters rose to their feet, but Rayane Benguesmia was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Anaba Mesbah breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. With an all-out effort, Ash's Anaba Mesbah threw himself towards the right post 61 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Rayane Benguesmia, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Hamza Béchar received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 63rd minute. Anaba Mesbah tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Rayane Benguesmia had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 64th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 71 minutes into the game, Zinedine Lammari was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Ash's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Whitstable the free kick. The supporters of Whitstable booed when Ash was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 71 match minutes in a wonderful position. Zinedine Lammari didn't get a good kick on the ball. If Fares Moussaoui had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 75th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 85 minutes into the match, Ash's goal looked a bit too open when Allaoua Kerbouche came free, but Fares Mammeri reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Rayane Benguesmia received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 86th minute. Anaba Mesbah tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 92nd match minute, Whitstable was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Rochdi Nasro to maneuver through the defense.
