Spectators: 6709 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1709, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Mohammed Ahmed Ben Hadjadj made the kick off which started today's match. After a defensive mix-up in Croswell's zone, Yacine Boudjedra stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Rachid Zouba came out of the goal and Yacine Boudjedra tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After 13 played minutes Croswell got a freekick which was hit by Salah El-Hadi. Chamberlain AFC's Mimoun Ouid Abdelghani proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 16th minute of the match, managed to save Chamberlain AFC from getting a goal against them. Rafik Boutabout could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 17th minute of the match, but Mimoun Ouid Abdelghani made a huge save.

In the 21st minute the ball was on its way in behind Croswell's goalkeeper Rachid Zouba, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar.

With a couple of smart ball manuevers Yacine Boudjedra in the 26th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Rachid Zouba saved Croswell from getting behind.

Mohammed Ahmed Ben Hadjadj might have been able to make a better finish in the 39th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Rachid Zouba. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Mohammed Ahmed Ben Hadjadj ran back to his position shaking his head. Mohammed Ahmed Ben Hadjadj sent away a hard shot on goal in the 43rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 46 minutes into the game, Yacine Boudjedra cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-2. Rachid Zouba was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. The Croswell players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Chamberlain AFC were winning 0-2.

Mimoun Ouid Abdelghani was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Hamid Kouri hit a great freekick 94 minutes into the match. After having played for 96 minutes, Mehdi Douibi managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Chamberlain AFC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Mehdi Douibi was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal.
