Spectators: 6726 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1726, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Fahim Cixous took the kick off in the first half of the match. Slimane Ferrah blasted a shot towards the goal in the 6th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Sabri Benyagoub having to make a save. Fahim Cixous sent away a hard shot on goal in the 13th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Fahim Cixous in the 18th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Kaddour Hadjar saved Tavistock from getting behind. Otman Djeballi kicked well hit freekick during the 34th minute of the match. Sabri Benyagoub took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Redouane Aribi, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When Fahim Cixous came up free with the goalie in the 42nd minute, the Honiton FC 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 Fahim Cixous couldn't finish the play. Fahim Cixous received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 46th minute. Kaddour Hadjar tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Redouane Aribi to make the kick off. The attack was good, but when Slimane Ferrah in the 54th minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal.

Fahim Cixous ran back to his position shaking his head. Said Sadaoui received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 62nd minute. Kaddour Hadjar tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Said Sadaoui had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 64th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. The crowd rose to their feet as Fahim Cixous kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Kaddour Hadjar. That made the score 1-2 in the 66 minute of play. Fahim Cixous received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Kaddour Hadjar came out and tried to block the shot, but Fahim Cixous slotted it home off the left post making it 1-3 in the 72nd minute.

Honiton FC's Fahim Cixous got a good chance for a goal in the 94th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.
