Spectators: 6752 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1752, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Ali Tonniche started the match with the kick off. Chuffing Hell City's Ali Tonniche got a good chance for a goal in the 5th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. The audience was convinced that Ali Tonniche's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Maher Khalfaoui was relentless in the 7th minute of the game. In the 11thth minute of the game Tarek Merdassi who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Chelmsford AFC's Maher Khalfaoui was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball.
