The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Ismaïl Merzekane was the one to do the kick off.

In the 54th minute Artemio Nikola shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Rachid Kourichi saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 55 minutes into the match, Cabot AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Fouad Benflis came free, but Rachid Kourichi reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. 61 minutes into the match, JAMHURIYA's goal looked a bit too open when Ismaïl Merzekane came free, but Mohamed Bouguerra reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
