Spectators: 6716 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1716, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Abd al-Asis Souakri got the match started through his kick off. Robert Bourebbou took the ball and in the 6 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Faouzi Horr. Faouzi Horr dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. After 9 minutes of play, Lincoln Village FC's Abd al-Asis Souakri made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Faouzi Horr was left in no man's land by his defense there! The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Fathi Kermali during the 16th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After 16 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Lincoln Village FC! In the 19th minute Eagle Lake AFC were awarded a corner. Sid Mohamed went to the cornerflag to take it. Abdelmalek Fadela fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 21st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Abdelkader Saïdi-Sief having to interfere. Abd al-Asis Kouri blasted a shot towards the goal in the 24th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Faouzi Horr having to make a save. Abd al-Asis Kouri struck a weak shot in the 26th minute. Faouzi Horr didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Lincoln Village FC. If Abd al-Asis Souakri had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 27th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After having played for 30 minutes, Abd al-Asis Souakri managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Lincoln Village FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Abd al-Asis Souakri was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 47th minute, Abd al-Asis Kouri 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.

Abdelkader Saïdi-Sief showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Abdelmalek Fadela in the 52nd minute of the match. In the 55th minute, one of Eagle Lake AFC:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Eagle Lake AFC. Abd al-Asis Kouri could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 61st minute of the match, but Faouzi Horr made a huge save. After 64 played minutes, Eagle Lake AFC's Sid Mohamed shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Abdelkader Saïdi-Sief 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 Eagle Lake AFC reached it. Halim Merbah sent away a hard shot on goal in the 73rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Abdelkader Saïdi-Sief took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Halim Merbah, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 85th minute Abdelmalek Fadela shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Abdelkader Saïdi-Sief saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. With a little luck, Eagle Lake AFC's Faouzi Horr got control of the ball when Abd al-Asis Kouri tried to sneak it across the goal line. Reda Zaoui might have been able to make a better finish in the 95th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Abdelkader Saïdi-Sief. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Reda Zaoui ran back to his position shaking his head. Abd al-Asis Souakri sent away a hard shot on goal in the 98th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The away crowd were delighted with the way their team had played and cheered loudly when the final whistle sounded. Lincoln Village FC walked away with the win, even though the match was close until the end.
