Ghumer Yacef received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 2nd minute. Rayan Lacen tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Assim Reda sent away a hard shot on goal in the 4th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 8 minutes into the match, Botley City's Amzar Abdelmoumene sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Ishak Benida narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Amzar Abdelmoumene sent away a hard shot on goal in the 15th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Amzar Abdelmoumene fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 20th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ishak Benida having to interfere. 21 minutes into the match, Waltham FC's goal looked a bit too open when Azziz Oulhaci came free, but Ishak Benida reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

In the 27th match minute, Botley City was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Hadj Amara to maneuver through the defense. Amzar Abdelmoumene was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 29th minute. Botley City's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. 30 minutes into the game, Abdelaziz Rahouli was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Waltham FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Botley City the free kick. After 30 played minutes Waltham FC got a freekick which was hit by Abdelaziz Rahouli. Ishak Benida showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Azziz Oulhaci, who was totally free with the ball in the 32nd minute. Rayan Lacen showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Assim Reda, who was totally free with the ball in the 35th minute.

In the 39th match minute, Botley City was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Hadj Amara to maneuver through the defense. 48 minutes into the match, Botley City's Boualem Cavalli broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

Amzar Abdelmoumene took the ball and in the 61 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Ishak Benida. Ishak Benida dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-0. In the 64th minute, Waltham FC's Madani Benida seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Madani Benida the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Waltham FC protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Madani Benida had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. In a very dangerous position, a player in Waltham FC fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 64th minute. Penalty! Boualem Cavalli walked up to take care of the penalty kick. He was aiming for the top corner, but the ball went just outside the post. The supporters of Waltham FC booed when Botley City was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 74 match minutes in a wonderful position. Boualem Cavalli didn't get a good kick on the ball. When Botley City's Azziz Oulhaci in the 81st minute got a chance for a shot 81st didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Waltham FC's goalie prevented a goal. In the 83rd minute Amzar Abdelmoumene shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ishak Benida saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The audience was convinced that Azziz Oulhaci's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Ishak Benida was relentless in the 84th minute of the game. 88 minutes into the match, Waltham FC's goal looked a bit too open when Azziz Oulhaci came free, but Ishak Benida reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 90 minutes of play, Botley City's Azziz Oulhaci made it 2-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Ishak Benida was left in no man's land by his defense there! In the 94th minute, Hadj Amara hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After some fancy dribbling in the 97th minute, Assim Reda managed to get in a good position for a shot. Waltham FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Assim Reda was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Rayan Lacen breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Botley City's supporters were highly satisfied with the result. They cheered their team of the pitch, having watched them win a very even match.
