Said Redouane took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Abdelbassir Mammeri, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Fahd Madjer struck a weak shot in the 24th minute. Idir Aribi didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Oxford.

Said Redouane breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After 73 played minutes, Oxford's Ismet Raïs shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Idir Aribi came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Oxford reached it. 75 minutes into the match, Abdelbassir Mammeri dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Said Redouane, 0-3.

The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Idir Aribi took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Adil Mezghich, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The away crowd were delighted with the way their team had played and cheered loudly when the final whistle sounded.
