After some fancy dribbling in the 37th minute, Abdel Hamid Kensi managed to get in a good position for a shot. Sayre's supporters rose to their feet, but Abdel Hamid Kensi was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.

The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. If Mohammed Benyamina had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 43rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

The wind increased when Abdel Hamid Kensi made the kick off in the second half.

The supporters of Gladewater AFC booed when Sayre was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 70 match minutes in a wonderful position. Knodi Nabil didn't get a good kick on the ball. The audience was convinced that Mohammed Benyamina's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Toufik Ali was relentless in the 74th minute of the game. If Cheb Lacen had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 75th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Mohammed Benyamina in the 77th minute of play forced Sayre's goalkeeper Toufik Ali to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Mohammed Benyamina was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 78th minute.

Toufik Ali took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Mohammed Benyamina, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

In the 93rd minute Abdel Hamid Kensi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Yazid Belkacem saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After some careless play in the Gladewater AFC defense, Abdel Hamid Kensi kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Yazid Belkacem. The Gladewater AFC fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Yazid Belkacem should have stopped the shot. Knodi Nabil sent away a hard shot on goal in the 96th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
