Spectators: 6761 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1761, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Mokhtar Harkouk kicked off to start the match. Samy Rezzoug hit a great freekick 3 minutes into the match. If Abdelhakim Deghmani had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 11th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 16th minute Farouk Nima shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Houd Benaouf saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 17 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Romford! Abdelatif Benbrahim went to the wrong direction when Youssef Hamruche was taking care of the penalty kick which however missed the goal. Romford's Abdelatif Benbrahim proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 24th minute of the match, managed to save Romford from getting a goal against them. In the 27th minute, Standish's Abdelhakim Deghmani ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Abdelatif Benbrahim. Abdelatif Benbrahim yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-0. Farouk Nima sent away a hard shot on goal in the 36th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Mimoun Guellil received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 42nd minute. Abdelatif Benbrahim tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 1-0.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Abdelhakim Deghmani to make the kick off. Farouk Nima received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 51st minute. Houd Benaouf tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Mimoun Guellil succeeded in the game's 53rd minute to shoot an unreachable shot under the crossbar and scored - 2-0. An unexpectedly hard shot by Abdelhakim Deghmani in the 64th minute of play forced Romford's goalkeeper Abdelatif Benbrahim to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 66 minutes into the match, Abdelhakim Deghmani had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Abdelatif Benbrahim. Romford's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Abdelhakim Deghmani was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 3-0. In the 70th minute, Mimoun Guellil left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Standish fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 4-0. Mokhtar Harkouk sent away a hard shot on goal in the 75th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Abdelatif Benbrahim didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Mimoun Guellil went, in the 93rd minute, to the upper right corner, 5-0 was the resulting score. The crowd rose to their feet and cheered when the referee blew the final whistle. Standish had won after a very even match.
