Mourad Boulahfane hit a great freekick 4 minutes into the match. After 5 played minutes, Otley United's Amad Amirouche shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Adza Boumedienne 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 Otley United reached it. A collision led to Otley United getting a freekick after 6 minutes play. Amad Amirouche hit a great ball. In the 10th minute, Athmane Ayad 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. When the match had gone on for 13 minutes, Abdelhamid Cherrad took a quick shot and it went in 1-0 without a chance for Tarik Baali to make any attempt to save it. Abdelhamid Cherrad sent away a hard shot on goal in the 16th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a rather tough play, Swanage FC's Brahim Medaci got a free kick in the 19th minute. Amjad Racim's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Adza Boumedienne read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 24th minute of play. Wassim Fari charged in rather forcefully in the 26th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Wassim Fari the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After 25 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Otley United! Athmane Ayad could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 29th minute of the match, but Tarik Baali made a huge save. Bahnini Kourichi struck a weak shot in the 30th minute. Adza Boumedienne didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Otley United. Swanage FC's Abdelhamid Cherrad got a good chance for a goal in the 33rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. After some careless play in the Otley United defense, Athmane Ayad kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Tarik Baali. The Otley United fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Tarik Baali should have stopped the shot. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-0.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Abdelhamid Cherrad was the one to do the kick off. In the 51st minute, Abdelhamid Cherrad ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Tarik Baali was frozen by the shot and now it was 3-0. Adza Boumedienne made an important save on a dangerous shot by Bahnini Kourichi in the 57th minute.

In the 71st minute Abdelhamid Cherrad shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Tarik Baali saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Abdelhamid Cherrad in the 75th minute of play forced Otley United's goalkeeper Tarik Baali to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The audience was convinced that Athmane Ayad's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Tarik Baali was relentless in the 76th minute of the game. If Abdelhamid Cherrad had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 82nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Swanage FC's Abdelhamid Cherrad in the 84th minute got a chance for a shot 84th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Otley United's goalie prevented a goal. 86 minutes into the match, Swanage FC's Athmane Ayad sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Tarik Baali narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In the 89thth minute of the game Abdelhamid Cherrad who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Otley United's Tarik Baali was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Swanage FC were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of Otley United for a fine match.
