Spectators: 6807 (Terracing: 5100, Seating: 1697, VIP seats: 10) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Mohamed Sad took the kick off in the first half of the match. If Cheb Benhabiles had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 10th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 12 minutes into the match, Charlotte Amalie West's goal looked a bit too open when Hamid Saïfi came free, but Mahieddine Raï reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Lynnfield's Amrani Mansouri proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 21st minute of the match, managed to save Lynnfield from getting a goal against them. Mahieddine Raï showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Hamid Saïfi in the 26th minute of the match. Cheb Benhabiles sent away a hard shot on goal in the 28th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Cheb Benhabiles fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 37th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Mahieddine Raï having to interfere. 39 minutes into the match, Lynnfield's goalkeeper Amrani Mansouri had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Rafik Ziani.

Mahieddine Raï was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-2.

Lynnfield's Rachid Harkat pulled a muscle in his back after 68 minutes and couldn't finish the game. When Noureddine Bitat fell near the penalty area in the 68th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Charlotte Amalie West's protests and gave Noureddine Bitat a yellow card for diving instead. In the 69th minute, Noureddine Bitat hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Mouloud Bouteflika during the 72nd minute.
