Spectators: 6731 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1731, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Smaïn Harkat kicked off to start the match. Sofiane Abid struck a weak shot in the 4th minute. Akatelaji Beloufa didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Golcar AFC. Akatelaji Beloufa came out of the goal in the 6th minute to try and stop a shot by Golcar AFC's Anaba El Ouazzani. But to his dismay, Anaba El Ouazzani quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. Ahmed Halouadji took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Smaïn Harkat, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. An unexpectedly hard shot by Smaïn Harkat in the 14th minute of play forced Golcar AFC's goalkeeper Ahmed Halouadji to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. The Golcar AFC fans' excitement grew in the 16th match minute when Golcar AFC's Anaba El Ouazzani looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 0-2 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. Anaba El Ouazzani fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 19th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Akatelaji Beloufa having to interfere. Ahmed Halouadji made a fantastic save in the 31st minute, when Zahid Ouadah sent off a good shot on target. After a defensive mix-up in Golcar AFC's zone, Smaïn Harkat stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ahmed Halouadji came out of the goal and Smaïn Harkat tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After 38 played minutes Golcar AFC got a freekick which was hit by Aksil Fahima. In the 42nd minute, Smaïn Harkat 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. The audience thought a goal was coming when Zahid Ouadah got free with Ahmed Halouadji in the 43rd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. If Sofiane Abid had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 46th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After the first half Golcar AFC were leading 0-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Anaba El Ouazzani stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. 52 minutes into the match, Anaba El Ouazzani dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Akatelaji Beloufa, 0-3.

Ahmed Halouadji went to the wrong direction when Dylan Achoui was taking care of the penalty kick which however missed the goal. Smaïn Harkat received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 63rd minute. Ahmed Halouadji tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 66 minutes into the match, Zahid Ouadah notched a goal, 1-3, to the right of Golcar AFC's Ahmed Halouadji. Ahmed Halouadji was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 70thth minute of the game Zahid Ouadah who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Golcar AFC's Ahmed Halouadji was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. The supporters of Dagenham FC booed when Golcar AFC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 75 match minutes in a wonderful position. Younes Hammani didn't get a good kick on the ball. After some fancy dribbling in the 76th minute, Zahid Ouadah managed to get in a good position for a shot. Dagenham FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Zahid Ouadah was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ahmed Halouadji breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. An unexpectedly hard shot by Zahid Ouadah in the 79th minute of play forced Golcar AFC's goalkeeper Ahmed Halouadji to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.
