In the 10th minute Houari Souakri shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Abderaouf Hamdani saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

After 25 played minutes, Wesleyville AFC's Moulay Harkat shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Abderaouf Hamdani 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 Wesleyville AFC reached it. When Tedj Hima fell near the penalty area in the 27th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Wesleyville AFC's protests and gave Tedj Hima a yellow card for diving instead. Tedj Hima hit a great freekick 27 minutes into the match. 31 minutes into the match, Wesleyville AFC's Houari Souakri sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Abderaouf Hamdani narrowly saved just below the crossbar.

The referee ignored Wesleyville AFC's protests and gave Mounir Otman a yellow card for diving instead. In the 46th minute, one of Bellmawr FC: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 Bellmawr FC. Abderaouf Hamdani went to the wrong direction when Moulay Harkat was taking care of the penalty kick which however missed the goal. 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.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Houari Souakri stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. When Rachid Bencheikh came up free with the goalie in the 52nd minute, the Bellmawr FC fans jumped to their feet.
