The 59246 fans in attendance at My space were roasting in the hot sun. Yousif Mansoury was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Josef Schuster and Maurizio Bottura. Everyone was excited about the upcoming Alger derby and the crowd was divided evenly. team tactics involved an interesting 4-5-1 combination. The following players had been chosen: Horneman - Hein, Zakari, Zbirou, Mentär - Vilendečić, Cabrito, Mladenov, Kreimer, Verdoes - Mergenthal.

48heures started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. The following players took the field: Vardis - Rokhin, Aboudaram, Steinberger - Cugulls, Verdina, Mahgoun, Köstlich, Linin - Paşa, D'Avack.

This was a good period for the visitors, with several opportunities to take the lead, particularly when S. Paşa slipped through the defence on the right to come up alone against M. Horneman, but the home side's keeper showed his lightning reflexes. The home crowd breathed a collective sigh of relief when S. Paşa was unable to put the ball in the net after his show of skill down the left 28 minutes into the match. He was seen beating the pitch in frustration at missing such a good chance to give his team the lead! After 30 minutes, I. Mahgoun sent the corner kick right to S. Steinberger who headed it sharply past the keeper. 0 - 1! 32 minutes into the match, the visitors put themselves ahead 0 - 2 as G. Köstlich finished off an attack from the left with a spectacular scissors kick. P. Linin's early cross saw the defenders caught out of position and the alert S. Paşa was able to pounce and roll the ball past the hapless goalkeeper to score for 48heures. 0 - 3. With 37 minutes played, a quick exchange of passes on the left wing freed I. Mahgoun of 48heures to slip through the defence and score another goal for the visitors. That made the score 0 - 4. At this point, it was obvious that the players of 48heures lowered the tempo and became more defensively oriented. There was concern in the stands when, at the 41 minute mark, team's M. Horneman hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. 42 minutes into the game, team had difficulty finding their positions and their organisation dropped to inadequate. Halftime score was 0 - 4. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by 48heures, with 66 percent of the ball.

During the break, team's coach went through the team's tactics yet again, getting them up to solid organisation. 48heures increased their lead after 67 minutes when I. Mahgoun broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 5, much to the home crowd's dismay. After 79 minutes, 48heures's S. Paşa burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 6. Some fine movement on the left led to a 48heures goal after 83 minutes, making it 0 - 7. S. Aboudaram was noted down as the scorer. The sunny day didn't make things easy for N. Rokhin who didn't seem his usual powerful self on the pitch. Had it not been for one of the home defenders, S. Paşa would have put 48heures up another goal 87 minutes into the match with his audacious lob from the right wing. The intense heat forced C. Mergenthal into making some errors because he couldn't seem to keep up with the others. The visitors added to their lead 89 minutes into the game, after a sensational penalty kick by 48heures's I. Mahgoun slid just past the home keeper. 0 - 8. That made three goals for I. Mahgoun and he was marked down for the hat trick. Possession in this half belonged to 48heures, who controlled the ball 69 percent of the time.

Most important team player was M. Mentär. M. Zakari on the other hand, had a terrible day. The most dominating 48heures player was without a doubt S. Paşa. P. Linin turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 8.
