Lawson Heights Park
Spectators: 7351 (Terracing: 5514, Seating: 1690, VIP seats: 147) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Madjid Zidane started the match with the kick off. Lawson Heights's Faouzi Skif played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Yacine Cherrad in the 4th minute of play. Mohamed Sadi hit a great freekick 11 minutes into the match. After some careless play in the Lawson Heights defense, Yacine Cherrad kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Faouzi Skif. The Lawson Heights fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Faouzi Skif should have stopped the shot. Yacine Cherrad received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 18th minute. Faouzi Skif tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Yacine Cherrad had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 21st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The audience was convinced that Yacine Cherrad's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Faouzi Skif was relentless in the 23rd minute of the game. If Kamel Bahari had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 30th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Through an outstanding action, after 37 minutes, Souad Belloumi successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post. Karim Larbi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 37th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Souad Belloumi having to interfere. The supporters of Lawson Heights booed when Alfred FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 46 match minutes in a wonderful position. Kamel Nasro didn't get a good kick on the ball. Abdelhamid Guendouz took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 47th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Souad Belloumi. Alfred FC's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Cheb Bitat's late challenge caught a Alfred FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Cheb Bitat helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Lawson Heights's Cheb Bitat got a free kick in the 49th minute. The crowd was extremely unhappy with the home team's performance in the first half. They were losing 0-1.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Yacine Cherrad stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. After a rather tough play, Lawson Heights's Souad Soltani got a free kick in the 67th minute. 67 minutes into the match, Alfred FC's Gilles Daham broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. When Alfred FC's Yacine Cherrad, in the 80th minute, received a pass right in front of the net, it looked like a certain goal, but his shot went outside. A wasted opportunity for Alfred FC. The audience was convinced that Yacine Cherrad's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Faouzi Skif was relentless in the 82nd minute of the game. Fateh Macias charged in rather forcefully in the 83rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Fateh Macias the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Karim Larbi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 88th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Souad Soltani kicked well hit freekick during the 98th minute of the match. Alfred FC's Yacine Cherrad got a good chance for a goal in the 99th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.
