Orland Hills Stadium
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. Madjid Saïdi-Sief started the match with the kick off. When Djabir Ulansi fell near the penalty area in the 2nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Orland Hills AFC's protests and gave Djabir Ulansi a yellow card for diving instead. A collision led to Orland Hills AFC getting a freekick after 2 minutes play. Djabir Ulansi hit a great ball. Noureddine Mohamed stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Madjid Saïdi-Sief's shot from short distance in the 3rd minute. In the 9th minute Abdelaziz Sad shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Mustapha Belkacem saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. West Seneca's Mustapha Belkacem played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Frantz Labi in the 13th minute of play. In the 14thth minute of the game Abdelaziz Sad who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but West Seneca's Mustapha Belkacem was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Orland Hills AFC's Abdelaziz Sad got a good chance for a goal in the 16th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Madjid Saïdi-Sief scored 0-1 in the 18th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Noureddine Mohamed, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Noureddine Mohamed took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Ali Bouazza, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 38th minute, Ali Bouazza ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Noureddine Mohamed was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-2. With a little luck, West Seneca's Mustapha Belkacem got control of the ball when Frantz Labi tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 47th minute, Madjid Saïdi-Sief got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-2 lead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Abdelaziz Sad made a kick off. When Ali Bouazza came up free with the goalie in the 58th minute, the West Seneca 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 Ali Bouazza couldn't finish the play. If Frantz Labi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 61st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 64 minutes into the match, Orland Hills AFC's Abdelaziz Sad sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Mustapha Belkacem narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Abdelaziz Ben Bella hit a great freekick 64 minutes into the match. Mustapha Belkacem stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Abdelaziz Sad's shot from short distance in the 67th minute. Abdelaziz Sad sent away a hard shot on goal in the 69th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Abdelaziz Sad received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 71st minute. Mustapha Belkacem tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a rather tough play, West Seneca's Rabah Ramdane got a free kick in the 72nd minute. 76 minutes into the match, West Seneca's goal looked a bit too open when Cheikha Belloumi came free, but Mustapha Belkacem reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Ali Bouazza might have been able to make a better finish in the 77th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Noureddine Mohamed. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Ali Bouazza ran back to his position shaking his head. The supporters of West Seneca booed when Orland Hills AFC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 80 match minutes in a wonderful position. Cheikha Belloumi didn't get a good kick on the ball. Madjid Saïdi-Sief sent away a hard shot on goal in the 81st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The crowd rose to their feet as Madjid Saïdi-Sief kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Noureddine Mohamed. That made the score 0-3 in the 83 minute of play. 87 minutes into the match, Orland Hills AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Madjid Saïdi-Sief came free, but Noureddine Mohamed reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 88 minutes, Cheikha Belloumi mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Orland Hills AFC and the West Seneca players grew even worse after the yellow card. Cheikha Belloumi kicked well hit freekick during the 88th minute of the match. In the 89th minute, West Seneca's Madjid Saïdi-Sief ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Noureddine Mohamed. Noureddine Mohamed yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 0-4. A collision led to West Seneca getting a freekick after 92 minutes play. Ahmed Aboulker hit a great ball. The audience thought a goal was coming when Ali Bouazza got free with Noureddine Mohamed in the 94th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Houari Fahima charged in rather forcefully in the 96th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Houari Fahima the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. When the match had been going on for 97 minutes, West Seneca's Sofiane Ghazi got an opportunity to shoot a penalty. He stayed cool and waited for the goalkeeper to move, before he confidently shot the ball into the goal, to the left of Noureddine Mohamed.
