Abdelhamid Ghozali's late challenge caught a Philomath's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Abdelhamid Ghozali helped the player get up and apologised. Philomath's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Abdelaziz Nabil in the 9th minute. The corner ended in Abdelaziz Nabil almost managing to get the ball behind the net, but Gunnison AFC's Sid Belkacem did a great save.

The audience thought a goal was coming when Walid Aggoune got free with Sofiane Boulebda in the 20th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. 21 minutes had been played when some careless play by Philomath's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Djamel Dahleb was slow to take the kick. During this time Gunnison AFC's players had a chance to rest. Gunnison AFC's Sid Belkacem played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Samir Akrour in the 23rd minute of play. 27 minutes into the match, Philomath's Samir Akrour sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Sid Belkacem narrowly saved just below the crossbar. A collision led to Philomath getting a freekick after 29 minutes play. Abdelhamid El Ouafi hit a great ball. Sofiane Boulebda made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ali Bouzid in the 37th minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ali Bouzid in the 45th minute of play forced Philomath's goalkeeper Sofiane Boulebda to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Walid Aggoune struck a weak shot in the 46th minute. Sofiane Boulebda didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Gunnison AFC. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The wind increased when Ali Bouzid made the kick off in the second half. Slimane Benhabiles tried to clear up in front of the goal, but didn't succeed and rather the ball rolled into the own goal to the right of a despaired Sofiane Boulebda. An unnecessary self made goal, 1-1 in the 51st minute. If Ali Bouzid had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 57th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a rather tough play, Philomath's Nouredine Ahmed got a free kick in the 71st minute. Ali Bouzid fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 74th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Sofiane Boulebda having to interfere.

After 89 played minutes Philomath got a freekick which was hit by Nouredine Ahmed. Walid Aggoune received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 90th minute. Sofiane Boulebda tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

Mimoun Ouid Ziani received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 94th minute. Sid Belkacem tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.
