Spectators: 6723 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1723, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Mohamed Amirèche got the match started through his kick off. Abdelmoumène Ounissi made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Mohamed Amirèche in the 4th minute of play. Mohamed Amirèche sent away a hard shot on goal in the 6th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The audience was convinced that Mounaim Messai's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Abdelmoumène Ounissi was relentless in the 8th minute of the game. If Mounaim Messai had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 11th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. When Kennington's Mohamed Amirèche in the 12th minute got a chance for a shot 12th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Cheshunt's goalie prevented a goal. Zakaria Fellahi kicked well hit freekick during the 13th minute of the match. 14 minutes into the match, Cheshunt's goal looked a bit too open when Mohamed Amirèche came free, but Abdelmoumène Ounissi reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

In the 17th minute, Amdegh Bouteflika 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 19th minute Kader Kholt shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Toufik Benkirat saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 19 minutes into the game, Mustapha Tobbal was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player.

Abdelmoumène Ounissi came out of the goal in the 22nd minute to try and stop a shot by Kennington's Amhaws Zidane. But to his dismay, Amhaws Zidane quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. Mohamed Amirèche recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 28th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Toufik Benkirat showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Kader Kholt in the 30th minute of the match. Amdegh Bouteflika was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 35th minute. Cheshunt's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. 39 minutes into the match, Kennington's goal looked a bit too open when Kader Kholt came free, but Toufik Benkirat reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in Kennington's zone, Kader Kholt stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Toufik Benkirat came out of the goal and Kader Kholt tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 46th minute, Kennington's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Amdegh Bouteflika fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. After 47 minutes of play, Cheshunt's Amdegh Bouteflika made it 2-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Toufik Benkirat was left in no man's land by his defense there! No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-1 at half-time.

Cheshunt's Abdelmoumène Ounissi played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Mounaim Messai in the 57th minute of play. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Amdegh Bouteflika in the 70th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Toufik Benkirat saved Kennington from getting behind. In the 76th minute the ball was on its way in behind Kennington's goalkeeper Toufik Benkirat, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. A collision led to Cheshunt getting a freekick after 78 minutes play. Rami Benbitour hit a great ball. Amdegh Bouteflika struck a weak shot in the 88th minute.
