Spectators: 7491 (Terracing: 5619, Seating: 1723, VIP seats: 149) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Abdelnasser Zidane started the match with the kick off. A collision led to Heaven getting a freekick after 9 minutes play. Ahmed Mazzid hit a great ball. An unexpected shot in the 16th minute by Mohamed Meriem got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side.

After 22 minutes, Kader Laura Douibi made it 0-1 with a short kick to the right side. Heaven's Mohamed Bougherra tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. Abdelnasser Zidane who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 25thth minute tested the skills of Said Nima when he managed to save the team from getting behind. Ahmed Mazzid received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 27th minute. Said Nima tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Abdelhamid Menguellet took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 32nd minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Said Nima. Havre's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. 42 minutes into the match, Havre's goalkeeper Said Nima had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Mohamed Meriem. Hocine Djamel struck a weak shot in the 43rd minute. Mohamed Bougherra didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Havre. Abdelhamid Menguellet's late challenge caught a Havre's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Abdelhamid Menguellet helped the player get up and apologised. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

The wind increased when Kader Laura Douibi made the kick off in the second half. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Abdelnasser Zidane in the 54th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Said Nima saved Havre from getting behind. When Ahmed Mazzid came up free with the goalie in the 56th minute, the Heaven 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 Ahmed Mazzid couldn't finish the play. Said Nima took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Abdelnasser Zidane, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Heaven's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Hamid Bitat in the 59th minute. The corner went over the outstretched arms of Havre's goalie and right to Camel Hima. He fired away a shot at goal, but the shot had too much spin, and it went just outside the goal. Havre's manager breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines as his team had managed to escape an almost certain goal. 62 minutes into the match, Abdelnasser Zidane notched a goal, 2-1, to the right of Havre's Said Nima. Said Nima was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After 65 played minutes Havre got a freekick which was hit by Kader Laura Douibi.
