Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Ahmed Fahima made the kick off which started today's match. The supporters of Atlantis booed when Boltwind United was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 6 match minutes in a wonderful position. Ferhat Saïfi didn't get a good kick on the ball. Yacine Bouchemla showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ahmed Fahima, who was totally free with the ball in the 9th minute. Atlantis's Abdel Mami played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Mahmoud Besseghir in the 14th minute of play. Moulay Yahia received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 18th minute. Yacine Bouchemla tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Kasdi Belloumi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 22nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Abdelaziz Kheyari fell near the penalty area in the 39th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Atlantis's protests and gave Abdelaziz Kheyari a yellow card for diving instead. After 39 played minutes Atlantis got a freekick which was hit by Abdelaziz Kheyari. Mahmoud Besseghir could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 40th minute of the match, but Abdel Mami made a huge save. 41 minutes had been played when some careless play by Atlantis's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Ferhat Saïfi was slow to take the kick. During this time Boltwind United's players had a chance to rest. Yacine Bouchemla came out of the goal in the 48th minute to try and stop a shot by Atlantis's Ahmed Fahima. But to his dismay, Ahmed Fahima quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Mahmoud Besseghir made a kick off. In the 55th match minute, Boltwind United was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Mohamed Soltani to maneuver through the defense. An unexpectedly hard shot by Frantz Bensaoula in the 62nd minute of play forced Atlantis's goalkeeper Abdel Mami to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Moulay Yahia sent away a hard shot on goal in the 68th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Sid Ahmed Beloufa struck a weak shot in the 72nd minute. Yacine Bouchemla didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Atlantis. In the 83rd minute, Sid Ahmed Beloufa hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Atlantis were furious when Moulay Yahia was red carded, 89 minutes into the game, but the referee dismissed their protests. 88 minutes into the game, one of Atlantis:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. Ferhat Saïfi shot the penalty kick right outside the post. Ferhat Saïfi charged in rather forcefully in the 96th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Ferhat Saïfi the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Ferhat Saïfi hit a great freekick 97 minutes into the match.
