Spectators: 6726 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1726, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Atik Aounellah kicked off to start the match. Keele City's Abdenour Rezzag played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Nadir Saâdi in the 5th minute of play. After 14 played minutes, Keele City's Hacène Bahari shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Sid Ali Moll 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 Keele City reached it. After some careless play in the Keele City defense, Kamel Bouzeghrane kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Abdenour Rezzag. The Keele City fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Abdenour Rezzag should have stopped the shot. Kamel Bouzeghrane sent away a hard shot on goal in the 20th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Atik Aounellah succeeded in the game's 31st minute to shoot an unreachable shot under the crossbar and scored - 2-1. Maylandsea's Bachir Ali got a good chance for a goal in the 43rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After 47 minutes, Nahil Kazi-Tani mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Maylandsea and the Keele City players grew even worse after the yellow card. 46 minutes into the game, one of Maylandsea:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 2-1 at half-time.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Bachir Ali was the one to do the kick off. Amayas Zemirli fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 64th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Sid Ali Moll having to interfere. After having played for 71 minutes, Atik Aounellah managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Keele City's supporters crossed their fingers, but Atik Aounellah was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 72nd minute, Nadir Saâdi hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Hacène Bahari's late challenge caught a Maylandsea's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Hacène Bahari helped the player get up and apologised. Abdenour Rezzag showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Zahid Boudiaf, who was totally free with the ball in the 77th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Bachir Ali in the 78th minute of play forced Keele City's goalkeeper Abdenour Rezzag to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Atik Aounellah sent away a hard shot on goal in the 80th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Atik Aounellah recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 87th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Sid Ali Moll stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Atik Aounellah's shot from short distance in the 89th minute. 95 minutes into the game, Amdegh El Maleh was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Keele City's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Maylandsea the free kick. After 95 played minutes Keele City got a freekick which was hit by Amdegh El Maleh.
