Plymouth Meeting
Spectators: 6704 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1704, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Nouredine Zaaboub started the match with the kick off. The supporters of Plymouth Meeting AFC booed when Ogden AFC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 8 match minutes in a wonderful position. Rabah Kourichi didn't get a good kick on the ball. The audience was convinced that Nouredine Zaaboub's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Meziane Hanin was relentless in the 9th minute of the game. 11 minutes into the match, Sofiane Bougherra notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Plymouth Meeting AFC's Faouzi Teissier. Faouzi Teissier was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Sofiane Bougherra sent away a hard shot on goal in the 16th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a defensive mix-up in Plymouth Meeting AFC's zone, Salim Kaci Said stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Faouzi Teissier came out of the goal and Salim Kaci Said tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After some careless play in the Plymouth Meeting AFC defense, Salim Kaci Said kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Faouzi Teissier. The Plymouth Meeting AFC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Faouzi Teissier should have stopped the shot. Amar Saci sent away a hard shot on goal in the 42nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Sofiane Bougherra fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 44th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Faouzi Teissier having to interfere. Ogden AFC's Meziane Hanin played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Nouredine Zaaboub in the 47th minute of play.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Sofiane Bougherra stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Dida Bensaoula's late challenge caught a Ogden AFC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Dida Bensaoula helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of Ogden AFC booed when Plymouth Meeting AFC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 51 match minutes in a wonderful position. Dida Bensaoula didn't get a good kick on the ball. Sofiane Bougherra received a nice pass, split the defenders, and ran untouched towards the goal. Faouzi Teissier came out and tried to block the shot, but Sofiane Bougherra slotted it home off the left post making it 0-3 in the 57th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Nouredine Zaaboub in the 68th minute of play forced Ogden AFC's goalkeeper Meziane Hanin to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After having played for 69 minutes, Salim Kaci Said managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Ogden AFC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Salim Kaci Said was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 72nd minute Amar Saci shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Meziane Hanin saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Faouzi Teissier took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Sofiane Bougherra, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Salim Kaci Said received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 84th minute. Faouzi Teissier tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 86th minute, Sofiane Bougherra managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ogden AFC's supporters rose to their feet, but Sofiane Bougherra was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Faouzi Teissier breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. When the final whistle sounded Ogden AFC left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Plymouth Meeting AFC.
