Spectators: 6730 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1730, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Chokri Yahia kicked off to start the match. Lounes Oussar in the 3rdth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Faouzi Nabil, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. After having played for 8 minutes, Lounes Oussar managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Woolwich City's supporters crossed their fingers, but Lounes Oussar was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Chokri Yahia received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 11th minute. Faouzi Nabil tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Lounes Oussar recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 13th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Mounir Khaldi showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Aydril Khelfellah in the 16th minute of the match. Azzedine Saïfi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 17th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Balsall Common's defense didn't have a chance, in the 20th minute, when Lounes Oussar scored to the left of an out of position Faouzi Nabil, making the score, 1-0. If Maarouf Benguedoudj had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 29th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Azzedine Saïfi blasted a shot towards the goal in the 35th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Mounir Khaldi having to make a save. Chokri Yahia sent away a hard shot on goal in the 37th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Lounes Oussar received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 46th minute. Faouzi Nabil tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Chokri Yahia was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 47th minute. Woolwich City's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance.

Faouzi Nabil showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Lounes Oussar, who was totally free with the ball in the 53rd minute. After a rather tough play, Balsall Common's Maarouf Benguedoudj got a free kick in the 54th minute. When Chokri Yahia came up free with the goalie in the 57th minute, the Woolwich City 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 Chokri Yahia couldn't finish the play. Mounir Khaldi didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Aydril Khelfellah went, in the 64th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-1 was the resulting score. Faouzi Nabil made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Chokri Yahia in the 71st minute of play. Sofiane Yahia hit a great freekick 71 minutes into the match. Chokri Yahia sent away a hard shot on goal in the 72nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The supporters of Woolwich City booed when Balsall Common was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 76 match minutes in a wonderful position. Abdel El Ibrahimi didn't get a good kick on the ball. After some careless play in the Balsall Common defense, Lounes Oussar kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Faouzi Nabil. The Balsall Common fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Faouzi Nabil should have stopped the shot. 83 minutes into the game, Aydril Khelfellah cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 2-2. Mounir Khaldi was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. In the 90th minute the ball was on its way in behind Balsall Common's goalkeeper Faouzi Nabil, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. In the 97thth minute of the game Azzedine Saïfi who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Woolwich City's Mounir Khaldi was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
