The first half was very even with both sides creating chances. The young and talented Maccelsfield town youth team went 1-0 up after some smart set piece work resulted in a corner being converted with a tap on on the line.

It took MIFA around 25 minutes to start to take control of the game, and were beginning to dictate play through midfielders Moa Hamid, Elliot Rokka and Jetmir. All three showed nice touches and clever play in the final 3rd of the pitch resulting in quite a few chances.

The game drew level when some sharp passing from defence into midfield created space for Moa Hamid to drive forward and slot a clever pass to Ramzi who scored with a first time finish.

The second half started with both teams eager to make a mark on the game, Maccelsfield play was direct and cause problems for MIFAS defence. 55 minutes into the game and MIFA had the upper hand using the strengths of the powerful forward Ousseni to win a corner. The corner resulted in the ball being swung in and instinctively finished by Barham the MIFA wide man, the now 2-1 MIFA.

Both teams have chances to increase the score line but both goalkeepers had safe hands keeping the ball out of the net. It was a great game and both teams played well, with a fair result in the end.
