Theatre of Dionysus
Spectators: 205 (Terracing: 154, Seating: 47, VIP seats: 4) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Mustapha Diafat took the kick off in the first half of the match. Mohamed Chaib in the 5thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Phùng Nghiêm-Minh, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. The audience was convinced that Nguyễn Binh's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Muhammad Bitat was relentless in the 8th minute of the game. The supporters of Chop Chop F.C. booed when FC Dalin was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 11 match minutes in a wonderful position. Liễu Anh Hung didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 14th minute, Nguyễn Binh ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Muhammad Bitat was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. The audience thought a goal was coming when Mustapha Diafat got free with Phùng Nghiêm-Minh in the 20th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Phùng Nghiêm-Minh took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Mohamed Chaib, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. FC Dalin's attentive Nguyễn Nghiêm-Minh managed to snatch the ball when Nordine Khadra made a throw-in in the 23rd minute of the game. 28 minutes into the match, FC Dalin's goal looked a bit too open when Mohamed Chaib came free, but Phùng Nghiêm-Minh reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After 32 minutes of play, FC Dalin's Nguyễn Binh made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Muhammad Bitat was left in no man's land by his defense there! After a rather tough play, FC Dalin's Nguyễn Binh got a free kick in the 36th minute. Hamid Semghoun charged in rather forcefully in the 38th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Hamid Semghoun the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After a rather tough play, Chop Chop F.C.'s Hamid Semghoun got a free kick in the 38th minute. If Nguyễn Binh had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 41st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Nguyễn Binh to strike the kick off in the second half. The throw-in from Noureddine Méniri in the 54th minute of the game was unfortunally taken care of by FC Dalin's Nguyễn Hong. After 57th play minutes Mustapha Diafat shot 1-2, a short shot which went by Phùng Nghiêm-Minh and just under the crossbar into goal. Nguyễn Hung kicked well hit freekick during the 67th minute of the match. After 68 played minutes FC Dalin got a freekick which was hit by Nguyễn Hung. Chop Chop F.C. made a substitution. Madhi Saïdi-Sief replaced Mansour Boulmerka. In a very dangerous position, a player in FC Dalin fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 73rd minute. Penalty! The Chop Chop F.C. fans' excitement grew in the 78th match minute when Chop Chop F.C.'s Mustapha Diafat looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 2-3 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. 82 minutes into the match, Ahmed Belfaa notched a goal, 3-3, to the right of FC Dalin's Phùng Nghiêm-Minh. Phùng Nghiêm-Minh was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After some fancy dribbling in the 85th minute, Karim Merbah managed to get in a good position for a shot. Chop Chop F.C.'s supporters rose to their feet, but Karim Merbah was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Phùng Nghiêm-Minh breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. The Chop Chop F.C. fans' excitement grew in the 91st match minute when Chop Chop F.C.'s Redha Achiu looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 4-3 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. Redha Achiu fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 96th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Phùng Nghiêm-Minh having to interfere. Chop Chop F.C. were really happy, having secured the victory after a very even contest. They thanked the players of FC Dalin for a fine match.
