In the 5th minute, Hocine Ghazi ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Mimoun Fari was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-0. In the 11th minute the ball was on its way in behind Laguna Beach's goalkeeper Mimoun Fari, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. In the 14th minute of the match Daho Amsallem sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Cícero Pitta skillfully saved the ball. An unexpectedly hard shot by Zoheir Djamel in the 15th minute of play forced High Rollerz FC's goalkeeper Cícero Pitta to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Mohamed Nima kicked well hit freekick during the 16th minute of the match. 2-0 became the score in the 19th minute when Fouad Bezzaz elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. In the 22nd minute, Mokdad Ben Khalidi hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. High Rollerz FC's Cícero Pitta played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Zoheir Djamel in the 24th minute of play. The audience thought a goal was coming when Fouad Bezzaz got free with Mimoun Fari in the 31st minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. If Fouad Bezzaz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 37th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ismael Radjef's late challenge caught a High Rollerz FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Ismael Radjef helped the player get up and apologised. In the 38th minute, Ismael Radjef hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When the match had gone on for 39 minutes, Boubekeur Medjani took a quick shot and it went in 3-0 without a chance for Mimoun Fari to make any attempt to save it. Fouad Bezzaz 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.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Hocine Ghazi to make the kick off. Fouad Bezzaz scored 4-0 in the 52nd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Mimoun Fari, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 60 minutes into the match, Mokdad Ben Khalidi notched a goal, 4-1, to the right of High Rollerz FC's Cícero Pitta. Cícero Pitta was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Mimoun Fari showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Fouad Bezzaz, who was totally free with the ball in the 63rd minute. Hocine Ghazi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 65th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Zoheir Djamel took the ball and in the 68 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Cícero Pitta. Cícero Pitta dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 4-2. Mokdad Ben Khalidi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 77th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Mokdad Ben Khalidi came up free with the goalie in the 79th minute, the Laguna Beach fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Mokdad Ben Khalidi couldn't finish the play. 84 minutes into the match, Laguna Beach's goal looked a bit too open when Fouad Bezzaz came free, but Mimoun Fari reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The audience was convinced that Fouad Bezzaz's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Mimoun Fari was relentless in the 88th minute of the game. Hocine Ghazi took the ball and in the 89 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Mimoun Fari. Mimoun Fari dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 5-2.
