Ilfracombe
Spectators: 6728 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1728, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Cheikh Bellil started the match with the kick off. In the 7thth minute of the game Chedli Hammadouch who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Ilfracombe's Zouhir Lacarne was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Zouhir Lacarne took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Slimane Makkeb, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The audience was convinced that Chedli Hammadouch's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Zouhir Lacarne was relentless in the 18th minute of the game. Anouar Mhenni charged in rather forcefully in the 20th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Anouar Mhenni the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 20th minute, Anouar Mhenni hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 23rd minute, Chedli Hammadouch made a precise shot to the right of Zouhir Lacarne. Ilfracombe's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-1. 26 minutes into the match, Slimane Makkeb notched a goal, 0-2, to the right of Ilfracombe's Zouhir Lacarne. Zouhir Lacarne was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Slimane Makkeb scored 0-3 in the 32nd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Zouhir Lacarne, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Mustapha Belkacem sent away a hard shot on goal in the 37th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Slimane Makkeb had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 40th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Chedli Hammadouch scored 0-4 in the 42nd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Zouhir Lacarne, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Chedli Hammadouch fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 46th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Zouhir Lacarne having to interfere. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-4 lead.

The audience thought a goal was coming when Chedli Hammadouch got free with Zouhir Lacarne in the 51st minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. When Wassim Aflelou came up free with the goalie in the 54th minute, the Islington fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Wassim Aflelou couldn't finish the play. Slimane Makkeb sent away a hard shot on goal in the 55th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 59 minutes into the match, Islington's goal looked a bit too open when Cheikh Bellil came free, but Mehdi Hadjadj reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After some fancy dribbling in the 64th minute, Chedli Hammadouch managed to get in a good position for a shot. Islington's supporters rose to their feet, but Chedli Hammadouch was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Zouhir Lacarne breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. An unexpectedly hard shot by Slimane Makkeb in the 66th minute of play forced Ilfracombe's goalkeeper Zouhir Lacarne to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If Cheikh Bellil had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 68th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 84th minute Chedli Hammadouch shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Zouhir Lacarne saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 86 minutes into the match, Ilfracombe's Cheikh Bellil sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Mehdi Hadjadj narrowly saved just below the crossbar.
