Anis Robime started the match with the kick off. Karim Fergani hit a great freekick 2 minutes into the match. Emir Amor made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Anis Robime in the 5th minute of play. 7 minutes into the match, Erith's goal looked a bit too open when Anis Robime came free, but Emir Amor reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Hamdi Karoui charged in rather forcefully in the 13th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Hamdi Karoui the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Hamdi Karoui hit a great freekick 13 minutes into the match. After a defensive mix-up in Belton AFC's zone, Aziz Gabsi stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ali Chaar came out of the goal and Aziz Gabsi tried to chip the ball over his head.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Anis Robime couldn't finish the play. Aziz Gabsi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 38th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 40th minute, Mohammed Ghodbane 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. Ali Chaar took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Mohammed Ghodbane , even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-1.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Mohammed Ghodbane to make the kick off. If Aziz Gabsi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 53rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The Erith fans' excitement grew in the 55th match minute when Erith's Aziz Gabsi 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 3-1 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. Hatem Hermassi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 60th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Emir Amor having to interfere. Through an outstanding action, after 62 minutes, Emir Amor successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post.
