Spectators: 6690 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1690, VIP seats: 0) Yazid Bentaala started the match with the kick off in front of an excited audience. After 3 minutes, Abdulhamid Haddadj mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Reed City and the Lytle AFC players grew even worse after the yellow card. The supporters of Lytle AFC booed when Reed City was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 3 match minutes in a wonderful position. Abdulhamid Haddadj didn't get a good kick on the ball. Abdel Hamid Benhamou came out of the goal in the 5th minute to try and stop a shot by Lytle AFC's Yazid Bentaala. But to his dismay, Yazid Bentaala quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. Abdulhamid Haddadj received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 11th minute. Mohammad Kaci Lacen tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 14 played minutes, Reed City's Mustapha Sofiane shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Mohammad Kaci Lacen 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 Reed City reached it. Camel Douibi charged in rather forcefully in the 14th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Camel Douibi the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Camel Douibi hit a great freekick 14 minutes into the match. In the 16th minute, Jussef Ben Liegeon hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After recieving a nice pass, Reed City's Rachid Belloumi tried to score from far away in the 17th minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. Abdel Hamid Benhamou showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Yazid Bentaala, who was totally free with the ball in the 20th minute. After a rather tough play, Reed City's Ali Hamouda got a free kick in the 21st minute. Abdulhamid Haddadj sent away a hard shot on goal in the 23rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Cherif Saci could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 27th minute of the match, but Mohammad Kaci Lacen made a huge save. 32 minutes into the match, Lytle AFC's Yazid Bentaala sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Abdel Hamid Benhamou narrowly saved just below the crossbar. After some fancy dribbling in the 35th minute, Yazid Bentaala managed to get in a good position for a shot. Lytle AFC's supporters rose to their feet, but Yazid Bentaala was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Abdel Hamid Benhamou breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 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 Abdulhamid Haddadj made a kick off. After having played for 51 minutes, Yazid Bentaala managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Lytle AFC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Yazid Bentaala was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Mohammad Kaci Lacen made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Cherif Saci in the 52nd minute of play. After some fancy dribbling in the 62nd minute, Cherif Saci managed to get in a good position for a shot. Reed City's supporters rose to their feet, but Cherif Saci was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Mohammad Kaci Lacen breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Ahmed Larbi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 71st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. With a little luck, Reed City's Abdel Hamid Benhamou got control of the ball when Ahmed Larbi tried to sneak it across the goal line. Cherif Saci sent away a hard shot on goal in the 82nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Yazid Soltani was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 84 minutes into the match. The referee gave Reed City a penalty, 86 minutes into the game. The penalty shot was made by Rachid Belloumi, who made a well placed shot into the net to the right of Lytle AFC's Mohammad Kaci Lacen. 1-1. If Cherif Saci had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 91st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Mahmoud Zaoui hit a great freekick 96 minutes into the match. Reed City were clearly unhappy with the draw, as they felt they had done enough to earn themselves a victory.
