Spectators: 6726 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1726, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Mourad Namouchi made the kick off which started today's match. In the 4th minute, Castleford AFC's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Karim Neifar fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. In the 5th minute Mourad Namouchi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Anis Hedi Jedidi saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Karim Jelassi showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Wissem Tlili in the 6th minute of the match. After a rather tough play, Castleford AFC's Slaheddine Aleya got a free kick in the 12th minute. With a little luck, Castleford AFC's Anis Hedi Jedidi got control of the ball when Karim Neifar tried to sneak it across the goal line. Mourad Namouchi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 19th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. An unexpectedly hard shot by Abdelwahab Nafti in the 21st minute of play forced Shelfield's goalkeeper Karim Jelassi to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 23 minutes of play, Castleford AFC's Abdelwahab Nafti made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Karim Jelassi was left in no man's land by his defense there! Abdelwahab Nafti fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 26th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Karim Jelassi having to interfere. If Wissem Tlili had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 35th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Karim Neifar fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 38th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Anis Hedi Jedidi having to interfere.

Anis Hedi Jedidi came out and tried to block the shot, but Mourad Namouchi slotted it home off the left post making it 2-1 in the 40th minute. Karim Neifar sent away a hard shot on goal in the 46th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Wissem Tlili to make the kick off. Mohamed Salah Ben Sellimi hit a great freekick 53 minutes into the match. 54 minutes into the match, Castleford AFC's Zoubeir Fitouri broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. Karim Jelassi took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Wissem Tlili, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 59th minute, Shelfield's Férid Kasraoui seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Férid Kasraoui the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Shelfield protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Férid Kasraoui had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. 59 minutes into the game, one of Shelfield:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. Karim Jelassi had in the 62ndth minute some difficulties stopping Zoubeir Fitouri's well aimed penalty as it nearly passed him on his left side, but he still managed to hold the ball. If Karim Neifar had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 66th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a rather tough play, Shelfield's Khaled Jawachi got a free kick in the 69th minute. 70 minutes into the match, Shelfield's goal looked a bit too open when Wissem Tlili came free, but Karim Jelassi reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 88 minutes into the game, Mehdi Hammemi was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Castleford AFC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Shelfield the free kick. After 88 played minutes Castleford AFC got a freekick which was hit by Mehdi Hammemi. Hassan Jaidi kicked well hit freekick during the 89th minute of the match. Karim Neifar received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 92nd minute. Anis Hedi Jedidi tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a rather tough play, Shelfield's Mohamed Salah Ben Sellimi got a free kick in the 94th minute. Karim Jelassi took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Wissem Tlili, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After 100 played minutes, Castleford AFC's Lotfi Kerrit shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Karim Jelassi came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Castleford AFC reached it.
