Spectators: 6723 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1723, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Lamine Zaghidour took the kick off in the first half of the match. 4 minutes into the match, Liversedge FC's goal looked a bit too open when Hacène Menia came free, but Chams Bilal reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Lamine Zaghidour in the 5th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Chams Bilal saved Liversedge FC from getting behind. In the 9th minute Hacène Menia shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Chams Bilal saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Assad Benyoucef's late challenge caught a Liversedge FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Assad Benyoucef helped the player get up and apologised. In the 11th minute, Assad Benyoucef hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 13th minute, Khalida Djazouli 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 14th minute, Nacer Khendu hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The attack was good, but when Khalida Djazouli in the 15th minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. Khalida Djazouli scored 1-0 in the 17th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Mokhtar Liegeon, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Hacène Menia received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 20th minute. Chams Bilal tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Lamine Zaghidour had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 22nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Chams Bilal took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Hacène Menia, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Chams Bilal showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Lamine Zaghidour, who was totally free with the ball in the 26th minute. When Akwli Metref came up free with the goalie in the 28th minute, the Liversedge 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 Akwli Metref couldn't finish the play. Akwli Metref sent away a hard shot on goal in the 30th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Lamine Zaghidour blasted a shot towards the goal in the 37th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Chams Bilal having to make a save. Chams Bilal showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Lamine Zaghidour in the 40th minute of the match. Lamine Zaghidour struck a weak shot in the 43rd minute. Chams Bilal didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Hardwick City. Lamine Zaghidour received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 45th minute. Chams Bilal tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The away team players looked dejected as the walked off the pitch at half time. They had fought hard, but were still losing 1-0.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Akwli Metref made a kick off. In the 54th minute, Akwli Metref ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Mokhtar Liegeon was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-0. Liversedge FC's Chams Bilal played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Lamine Zaghidour in the 62nd minute of play. A collision led to Hardwick City getting a freekick after 67 minutes play. Abdellah Mazzid hit a great ball. After 68 played minutes, Liversedge FC's Zineddine Saci shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Mokhtar Liegeon 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 Liversedge FC reached it. Mokhtar Liegeon took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Khalida Djazouli, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 72nd minute Akwli Metref shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Mokhtar Liegeon saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Assad Benyoucef hit a great freekick 75 minutes into the match. In the 78th minute, Hacène Menia 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. If Imad Achoui had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 82nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. A hard shot 85 in the game by Hacène Menia from a close distance when the talented Chams Bilal managed to make a qualified save. Liversedge FC's players were relieved. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Akwli Metref in the 87th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Mokhtar Liegeon saved Hardwick City from getting behind. Lamine Zaghidour sent away a hard shot on goal in the 89th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Lamine Zaghidour was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 91st minute. Hardwick City's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. In the 97th minute, Khalida Djazouli 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. Many of Hardwick City's supporters were seen to leave the ground early as it became clear their team was going to lose. Hardwick City may have spent more time on the ball, but Liversedge FC were more willing to take their chances and they walked away with the win.
