Spectators: 7542 (Terracing: 5658, Seating: 1734, VIP seats: 150) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Diego Farias made the kick off which started today's match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Diego Farias in the 2nd minute of play forced Salmiyah Power's goalkeeper Larbi Deghmani to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Ciriaco Jordy came out of the goal in the 6th minute to try and stop a shot by Salmiyah Power's Amrani Bezzaz. But to his dismay, Amrani Bezzaz quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. 16 minutes into the match, Llavallol FC's goal looked a bit too open when Amrani Bezzaz came free, but Ciriaco Jordy reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. With a little luck, Salmiyah Power's Larbi Deghmani got control of the ball when Paulino Amor tried to sneak it across the goal line. If Paulino Amor had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 25th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 27th minute, Salmiyah Power's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Paulino Amor fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. Ciriaco Jordy made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Amrani Bezzaz in the 29th minute of play.

In the 42nd minute, Amrani Bezzaz left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Salmiyah Power fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-2. In the 46th minute, Llavallol FC's Benedicto Eleder seemed to kick out at an opponent. The referee saw this and, surprisingly, showed Benedicto Eleder the red card, dismissing him from the pitch. The coaching staff of Llavallol FC protested bitterly, but the referee would have none of it, and Benedicto Eleder had no choice but to slowly walk off the pitch. A collision led to Llavallol FC getting a freekick after 47 minutes play. Benedicto Eleder hit a great ball. Ciriaco Jordy made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Amrani Bezzaz in the 48th minute of play.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Halim Djamel stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Anthar Derrida who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 54thth minute tested the skills of Ciriaco Jordy when he managed to save the team from getting behind. Larbi Deghmani took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Diego Farias, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Basilio Araoz took the ball and in the 58 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Larbi Deghmani. Larbi Deghmani dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-2. When Hameur Aribi fell near the penalty area in the 70th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Salmiyah Power's protests and gave Hameur Aribi a yellow card for diving instead. Hameur Aribi hit a great freekick 70 minutes into the match. Salmiyah Power's Nouara Djahnine was substituted for Amrani Bezzaz. Hameur Aribi kicked well hit freekick during the 72nd minute of the match. Ciriaco Jordy took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Djamel Zerguelaine, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

Larbi Deghmani showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Genaro Martxelin in the 88th minute of the match. Diego Farias's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Larbi Deghmani read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 89th minute of play. Ciriaco Jordy made a fantastic save in the 92nd minute, when Anthar Derrida sent off a good shot on target.
