After a defensive mix-up in Robersonville's zone, Said Abbas stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Karim Djamel came out of the goal and Said Abbas tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Said Abbas sent away a hard shot on goal in the 12th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Said Abbas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 16th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In a very dangerous position, a player in Cambridge FC fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 19th minute. Penalty!

Said Abbas fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 67th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Karim Djamel having to interfere. Mourad Schoonmaker's late challenge caught a Cambridge FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card.

Mourad Schoonmaker didn't get a good kick on the ball. Said Abbas received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 70th minute. Karim Djamel tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.
