Summary

The Stadistes were eager to settle the match early. Their first chance came in the 14th minute when Saafi delivered a free‑kick, Diop followed up with a powerful shot, but the Étoilés’ goalkeeper managed to intercept the ball.

The second Stadistes attempt proved decisive: Ndiaye slipped into the penalty area and unleashed a strong strike. Étoilés keeper Sabri Ben Hassen mishandled the clearance, allowing Boubacar Camara to tap the ball into the net (17’).

Before the halftime break, the Étoilés tried to get back into the game but failed to convert their opportunities. Notably, Mohamed Dhaoui took his time controlling the ball before blasting it well over the crossbar (36’).

In the 44th minute, from a corner taken by Abid, Hnid nearly fooled the Stadistes’ keeper Noureddine Farhati with a header that skimmed the right post.

The Étoilés pressed for an equaliser, searching for a breakthrough, but the Stadistes shut down every avenue to Farhati’s goal, applying intense pressure on the ball carrier.

The Étoilés’ coach made two impactful substitutions, bringing on Ben Sghaier and Smichi. This duo finally broke the deadlock three minutes before the end of regulation time: Ben Sghaier slipped down the left flank, crossed to Smichi, who headed the ball directly into Farhati’s net (87’).
