Spectators: 47 (Terracing: 36, Seating: 11, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Zac O'Donnell made the kick off which started today's match. Alexander Higgins didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Basel Riad went, in the 4th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. The audience was convinced that Abbas Sallam's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Alexander Higgins was relentless in the 7th minute of the game. In the 13th minute, Aebeed Ezz ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Alexander Higgins was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-2. After 17 played minutes Scotland got a freekick which was hit by Jack MacKinnon. After 25 minutes of play, Bolton Wanderers's Abbas Sallam made it 0-4 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Alexander Higgins was left in no man's land by his defense there! Fletcher Main recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 28th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Abdel Monsef Faisal had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 33rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After some careless play in the Scotland defense, Basel Riad kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Alexander Higgins. The Scotland fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Alexander Higgins should have stopped the shot. Abbas Sallam scored 0-7 in the 36th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Alexander Higgins, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Basel Riad was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 41st played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. After 41 played minutes, Bolton Wanderers's Basel Riad shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Alexander Higgins came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Bolton Wanderers reached it. Alexander Higgins showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Abbas Sallam, who was totally free with the ball in the 42nd minute.

Alexander Higgins didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Aebeed Ezz went, in the 54th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-8 was the resulting score. In the 58th minute Basel Riad shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Alexander Higgins saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Aebeed Ezz struck a weak shot in the 62nd minute. Alexander Higgins didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Bolton Wanderers. Sabry Adham lost his temper 64 minutes into the game and shoved another player to the ground. He was immediately shown a red card. In a very dangerous position, a player in Bolton Wanderers fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 64th minute. Penalty! Mowafak Shaker had in the 66thth minute some difficulties stopping Zac O'Donnell's well aimed penalty as it nearly passed him on his left side, but he still managed to hold the ball. In the 66th minute, Zac O'Donnell ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Mowafak Shaker was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-8. The Bolton Wanderers fans' excitement grew in the 70th match minute when Bolton Wanderers's Abbas Sallam looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 1-9 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. Aebeed Ezz had several of the Scotland's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 73 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 1-10 score and a disappointed Alexander Higgins as he didn't even see the shot coming. Aebeed Ezz let the left foot speak when in front of goal in the 83rd minute shot 1-12 at rihgt post. 87 minutes into the match, Scotland's goalkeeper Alexander Higgins had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Ibrahim Waheed. Aebeed Ezzs short, quick shot in the 88thth minute got Alexander Higgins to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Alexander Higgins showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Abbas Sallam in the 91st minute of the match. In the 96th minute, Aebeed Ezz hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Aebeed Ezz sent away a hard shot on goal in the 98th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
