Spectators: 6732 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1732, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Wahid Nasri started the match with the kick off. Messaoud Gallaire showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Wahid Nasri in the 3rd minute of the match. Wahid Nasri fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 6th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Messaoud Gallaire having to interfere. In the 12th minute, Shobdon's Ali Hemdani ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Kylian Seghiri. Kylian Seghiri yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-0. If Djillali Kraïche had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 20th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 24th minute, Djillali Kraïche ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Messaoud Gallaire was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-1. Wahid Nasri received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 26th minute.

Wahid Nasri showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-4. Djabir Benhelal might have been able to make a better finish in the 60th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Kylian Seghiri. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Djabir Benhelal ran back to his position shaking his head. Messaoud Gallaire made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Wahid Nasri in the 65th minute of play.

In the 86th minute Wahid Nasri shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Messaoud Gallaire saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Omar Dahleb kicked well hit freekick during the 87th minute of the match. 94 minutes had been played when some careless play by Shobdon's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Imad Hemdani was slow to take the kick. During this time Hardwick FC's players had a chance to rest. Hardwick FC played a much better game than Shobdon and deserved their victory. The Shobdon players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
