Meshal Al Khaled made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-1.

In the 16th minute of the match Hildenborough got a corner. Neston's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Msaed Al Kandere ran over to the corner to take the kick. The corner led Hildenborough's Msaed Al Kandere to fire away a dangerous shot which Shaban Al Baghli despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. Derar Shams hit a great freekick 17 minutes into the match. A hard shot 20 in the game by Luai Shadad from a close distance when the talented Shaban Al Baghli managed to make a qualified save. Neston's players were relieved. Meshal Al Khaled showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Jassem Al Hindi in the 23rd minute of the match. Shaban Al Baghli came out of the goal in the 26th minute to try and stop a shot by Hildenborough's Luai Shadad. But to his dismay, Luai Shadad quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. An unexpectedly hard shot by Aadil Kakoli in the 34th minute of play forced Hildenborough's goalkeeper Meshal Al Khaled to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If Luai Shadad had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 44th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 1-1 after a close first half.

Fadhel Al Mansor hit a great freekick 68 minutes into the match.

Shaban Al Baghli was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in.
