Worcester Park's Ismail Yahia got a good chance for a goal in the 8th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar.

Fadhel Ben Fadhel was extremely unlucky when he, in the 36th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. An unexpectedly hard shot by Fadhel Ben Fadhel in the 36th minute of play forced Sawtry's goalkeeper Mohamed Habib Benfrej to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

Karim Nafti came out of the goal and Abdallah Dhafer tried to chip the ball over his head.

Sami Decastel charged in rather forcefully in the 86th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Sami Decastel the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of Worcester Park booed when Sawtry was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 86 match minutes in a wonderful position. Sami Decastel didn't get a good kick on the ball. For all the effort they put into the match, the Sawtry players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Worcester Park.
