Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Ahmed Mazzid took the kick off in the first half of the match. Mansour Harkouk made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Faouzi Boutabout in the 4th minute of play.

Belmadi Djamel made in the 23rd minute of the game a fairly good throw-in which was taken care of by Hicham Harkouk. When Jussef Ben Fadhil Mohamed came up free with the goalie in the 28th minute, the Gothenburg FC 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 Jussef Ben Fadhil Mohamed couldn't finish the play. Tayeb Kerkar sent away a hard shot on goal in the 30th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Kamel Bouteflika kicked well hit freekick during the 34th minute of the match. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Faouzi Boutabout stepped up to make the kick off in the second half.

Hamid Kouici made in the 91st minute of the game a sloppy throw-in which Cheikha Drioueche however managed to control. When Belmadi Djamel fell near the penalty area in the 92nd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Gothenburg FC's protests and gave Belmadi Djamel a yellow card for diving instead. A collision led to Gothenburg FC getting a freekick after 92 minutes play.
