In the 4th minute, Abd al-Asis Belkhadem hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. A collision led to Valley Stream getting a freekick after 6 minutes play. Sid Ahmed Belkheir hit a great ball. After a defensive mix-up in Valley Stream's zone, Bineesh Sarangapani stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Amar Maillot came out of the goal and Bineesh Sarangapani tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Great Missenden F's Rudy Rajah got a good chance for a goal in the 9th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Djamal Akrour struck a weak shot in the 14th minute. Firdauz Tan didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Valley Stream. Rudy Rajah sent away a hard shot on goal in the 15th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After some careless play in the Valley Stream defense, Rudy Rajah kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Amar Maillot. The Valley Stream fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Amar Maillot should have stopped the shot. Valley Stream's Amar Maillot played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Rudy Rajah in the 24th minute of play. Djamal Akrour might have been able to make a better finish in the 25th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Firdauz Tan. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Djamal Akrour ran back to his position shaking his head. Firdauz Tan took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Karim Diafat, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When Rudy Rajah came up free with the goalie in the 37th minute, the Great Missenden F 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 Rudy Rajah couldn't finish the play. In the 41st minute, Alan Lee left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Great Missenden F fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-2. After some fancy dribbling in the 45th minute, Frantz Daham managed to get in a good position for a shot. Valley Stream's supporters rose to their feet, but Frantz Daham was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Firdauz Tan breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Amar Maillot took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Bineesh Sarangapani, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Djamal Akrour made a kick off. 54 minutes into the match, Djamal Akrour had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Firdauz Tan. Great Missenden F's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Djamal Akrour was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-2. In the 57th minute of the match Mehdi Al-Jazairia sent off a long shot with destination to the right of the goalkeeper, but Firdauz Tan skillfully saved the ball.

Yacine Kouri took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 64th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Firdauz Tan. Great Missenden F's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Amar Maillot made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Rudy Rajah in the 71st minute of play. The audience thought a goal was coming when Faiz Sim got free with Amar Maillot in the 75th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort.

In the 83rd minute the ball was on its way in behind Great Missenden F's goalkeeper Firdauz Tan, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar.

Djamal Akrour kicked well hit freekick during the 94th minute of the match. If Rudy Rajah had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 96th minute.
