Spectators: 7444 (Terracing: 5584,
Seating: 1712, VIP seats: 148) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Salim Mohand started the match with the kick off. Abdelmalek El-Hadi struck a weak shot in the 4th minute. Mehdi Horr didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Hayesville. After 6 minutes, Salim Mohand mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Holland and the Hayesville players grew even worse after the yellow card. A collision led to Holland getting a freekick after 6 minutes play. Salim Mohand hit a great ball. Smail Ouyahia received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 11th minute. Mehdi Horr tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 14th minute the ball was on its way in behind Hayesville's goalkeeper Kasdi Lacen, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar.

After 34 played minutes, Hayesville's Rabah Lacen shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Mehdi Horr came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Hayesville reached it. Kasdi Lacen made an important save on a dangerous shot by Salim Mohand in the 35th minute.

After a rather tough play, Hayesville's Abdelaziz Fergani got a free kick in the 41st minute. When Karim Souakri fell near the penalty area in the 42nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Abdelmalek El-Hadi stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. The supporters of Hayesville booed when Holland was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 54 match minutes in a wonderful position. Mebarek Fadela didn't get a good kick on the ball. Abdelmalek Bouguerra was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 54th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. After 59 played minutes Hayesville got a freekick which was hit by Rabah Lacen. After a defensive mix-up in Hayesville's zone, Salim Mohand stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.

Abdelmalek El-Hadi hit a great freekick 94 minutes into the match. Salim Mohand might have been able to make a better finish in the 98th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Kasdi Lacen. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Salim Mohand ran back to his position shaking his head. When Guillaume Laurent Saïd-Guerni came up free with the goalie in the 99th minute, the Holland 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 Guillaume Laurent Saïd-Guerni couldn't finish the play. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Holland fully deserved thier win.
