Colne United's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Otterham the free kick. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 4th minute of the game. One of Colne United:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Otterham:s goal. If Nordine Bezzaz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 8th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

In the 20th minute of the match Rayane Sakhri shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Chams Benmabrouk showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. 21 minutes into the game, Hocine Achiu was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Colne United's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Otterham the free kick. 22 minutes into the match, Slimane Rezzag had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Chams Benmabrouk. Colne United's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Slimane Rezzag was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. Boualem Oussar stood somewhat misplaced when Belaid Liegeon came free in front of goal and shot 1-2 to the left of him in the 25 minute.

In the 44th match minute, Otterham was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Nacim Achoui to maneuver through the defense. Colne United's Abdelkarim Bensaoula couldn't find anyone to pass the ball to, so he shot a long shot towards the goal in the 45th minute. The shot went wide which resulted in a goal kick for Otterham. The Colne United players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Otterham were winning 1-2.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Slimane Rezzag stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Riad Medjani scored 1-3 in the 60th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Chams Benmabrouk, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Boualem Oussar made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Nordine Bezzaz in the 65th minute of play. Belaid Liegeon recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 69th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Nordine Bezzaz might have been able to make a better finish in the 71st minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Boualem Oussar. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Nordine Bezzaz ran back to his position shaking his head. When Belaid Liegeon came up free with the goalie in the 74th minute, the Colne United 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 Belaid Liegeon couldn't finish the play. In the 82nd minute, Riad Medjani got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. In the 89th minute, Nordine Bezzaz made a precise shot to the right of Boualem Oussar. Otterham's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-3. Slimane Rezzag received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 96th minute. Chams Benmabrouk tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Although Colne United had been in control for most of the match, Otterham still came away with the win.
