Spectators: 6741 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1741, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Mohamed Litaiem started the match with the kick off. 3 minutes into the match, Leyland's goal looked a bit too open when Hedi Merdassi came free, but Kais Naouali reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Mohamed Litaiem received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 5th minute. Kais Naouali tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Kais Naouali stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Hedi Merdassi's shot from short distance in the 7th minute. Kais Naouali took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Mohamed Litaiem, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

In the 39th minute, Aymen Attouga 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. When Aymen Attouga came up free with the goalie in the 41st minute, the Leyland 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 Aymen Attouga couldn't finish the play. After 46 played minutes Leyland got a freekick which was hit by Hamdi Maatouk. Mohamed Litaiem sent away a hard shot on goal in the 47th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out.
