Spectators: 6690 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1690, VIP seats: 0) A collision led to Hillcrest getting a freekick after 4 minutes play. Cheikha Madjer hit a great ball. In the 6th minute Mansour Merah shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Mohammad Hanin saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. With a little luck, Kenwood's Ahmed Khelaifia got control of the ball when Nasreddine Madani tried to sneak it across the goal line. In the 20th minute of the match Abdelnasser Madjer sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Ahmed Khelaifia skillfully saved the ball. If Yasmina Cherrad had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 22nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 24 minutes into the game, Kenwood's Mansour Merah nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Mohammad Hanin made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-1. In the 29th minute, Amar Yacine hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Mansour Merah received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 36th minute. Mohammad Hanin tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 38th minute, Cheikha Badis managed to get in a good position for a shot. Hillcrest's supporters rose to their feet, but Cheikha Badis was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ahmed Khelaifia breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Cheikha Badis made a kick off. Kenwood's Ahmed Khelaifia played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Cheikha Badis in the 55th minute of play. Mounir Fellahi's late challenge caught a Hillcrest's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Mounir Fellahi helped the player get up and apologised. Mounir Fellahi kicked well hit freekick during the 58th minute of the match. 64 minutes into the game, Nasreddine Madani cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-1. Ahmed Khelaifia was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. In the 69th minute, Nasreddine Madani 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. Mansour Merah recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 72nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Yasmina Cherrad sent away a hard shot on goal in the 74th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Yasmina Cherrad could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 79th minute of the match, but Mohammad Hanin made a huge save. An unexpectedly hard shot by Cheikha Badis in the 90th minute of play forced Kenwood's goalkeeper Ahmed Khelaifia to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.
