Moulay Saïd-Guerni tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

A beautiful save bye Baker's goalie prevented a goal. 45 minutes into the match, Severo Chinto notched a goal, 3-2, to the right of Baker's Moulay Saïd-Guerni. Moulay Saïd-Guerni was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it.

The wind increased when Severo Chinto made the kick off in the second half. If Boubekeur Khabatou had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 51st minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After 59 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Audubon!

André Iniesta ran back to his position shaking his head. After having played for 93 minutes, Cheb Heddou managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

André Iniesta hit a great freekick 98 minutes into the match. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match.
