Twickenham's Abdelatif Fanon played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Tarik Belkhadem in the 3rd minute of play. Boubekeur Cherif could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 4th minute of the match, but Abderrahmane Medjoudj made a huge save. Abderrahmane Medjoudj didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Boubekeur Cherif went, in the 15th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-1 was the resulting score. 21 minutes into the game, Bilal Dahmane was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Whitstable's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Twickenham the free kick. After 21 played minutes Whitstable got a freekick which was hit by Bilal Dahmane. An unexpectedly hard shot by Lamine Amara in the 24th minute of play forced Twickenham's goalkeeper Abdelatif Fanon to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The supporters of Twickenham booed when Whitstable was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 27 match minutes in a wonderful position. Tarik Belkhadem didn't get a good kick on the ball. Azziz Abbes sent away a hard shot on goal in the 33rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 38 minutes into the match, Whitstable's goal looked a bit too open when Mostafa Bourebbou came free, but Abderrahmane Medjoudj reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 45th minute Lamine Amara shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Abdelatif Fanon saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.
51 minutes into the match, Twickenham's goalkeeper Abdelatif Fanon had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Azziz Abbes. Mostafa Bourebbou fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 59th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Abderrahmane Medjoudj having to interfere. If Boubekeur Cherif had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 62nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Whitstable's Azziz Abbes got a good chance for a goal in the 68th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.

If Lamine Amara had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 79th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Lamine Amara struck a weak shot in the 84th minute. Abdelatif Fanon didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Whitstable. After 85 played minutes Twickenham got a freekick which was hit by Jaber Allag. Lamine Amara struck a weak shot in the 87th minute. Abdelatif Fanon didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Whitstable. Abdelatif Fanon took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Lamine Amara, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. The audience thought a goal was coming when Chafik Nasri got free with Abdelatif Fanon in the 96th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. In the 96th minute, Fahd Meskine hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The second half was just like the first, even and exciting. The match ended in a draw.
