Spectators: 6736 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1736, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Amine Dhiab took the kick off in the first half of the match. In the 8th minute Hassen Karoui shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Aymen Sassi saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Oussama Clayton recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 10th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Amine Dhiab had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 12th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Mongi Ali Bourguiba fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 15th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Blaise Zidane having to interfere. After 17 minutes of play, Heybridge's Amine Dhiab made it 0-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Blaise Zidane was left in no man's land by his defense there! 21 minutes into the match, Shaldon FC's goal looked a bit too open when Amine Dhiab came free, but Blaise Zidane reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The audience was convinced that Mongi Ali Bourguiba's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Blaise Zidane was relentless in the 22nd minute of the game. If Mongi Ali Bourguiba had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 28th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. If Amine Dhiab had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 41st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After the first half Heybridge were leading 0-1. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Hassen Karoui made a kick off. 55 minutes into the game, Shaldon FC's Oussama Clayton nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Aymen Sassi made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 2-1. Mongi Ali Bourguiba received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 59th minute. Blaise Zidane tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Mohieddine Soussia kicked well hit freekick during the 70th minute of the match. In the 73rd minute, Hassen Karoui made a precise shot to the right of Aymen Sassi. Heybridge's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 3-1. Aymen Sassi came out of the goal in the 76th minute to try and stop a shot by Shaldon FC's Hassen Karoui. But to his dismay, Hassen Karoui quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 4-1. When the match clock showed 82 minutes, the score became 5-1 when Oussama Clayton sped through Heybridge's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Aymen Sassi. If Mongi Ali Bourguiba had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 87th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Amine Dhiab came up free with the goalie in the 90th minute, the Heybridge 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 Amine Dhiab couldn't finish the play. A collision led to Heybridge getting a freekick after 93 minutes play. Ali Massaoud hit a great ball. In the 94th minute the ball was on its way in behind Heybridge's goalkeeper Aymen Sassi, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar.
