Spectators: 39 (Terracing: 30, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Hurst Green's Shervin Hosseini played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Farrokh Emad in the 3rd minute of play. Vafa Mahdavikia sent away a hard shot on goal in the 5th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 7th play minutes Khashayar Ghasemi shot 0-1, a short shot which went by Parviz Memarzadeh and just under the crossbar into goal. In the 12th minute Khashayar Ghasemi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Parviz Memarzadeh saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Pirooz Faryadshiran had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 13th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

After some fancy dribbling in the 35th minute, Vafa Mahdavikia managed to get in a good position for a shot. Beckermet AFC's supporters rose to their feet, but Vafa Mahdavikia was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Shervin Hosseini breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Vafa Mahdavikia could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 41st minute of the match, but Shervin Hosseini made a huge save. If Vafa Mahdavikia had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 43rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Parviz Memarzadeh didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Khashayar Ghasemi went, in the 44th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-2 was the resulting score. Disappointed in the 0-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

Beckermet AFC's supporters rose to their feet, but Vafa Mahdavikia was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.

Hurst Green were furious when Kian Gohari was red carded, 68 minutes into the game, but the referee dismissed their protests. In the 68th minute, one of Hurst Green:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Hurst Green.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Farrokh Emad in the 81st minute of play forced Hurst Green's goalkeeper Shervin Hosseini to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

The Hurst Green supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing Hurst Green would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
