Waterlooville Stadiu
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Naji Al Ajmi made the kick off and thus started the match. In the 4th minute, Saher Al Khars got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. In the 9th minute Saher Al Khars shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Barrak Al Barrak saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Khalel Al Sohali fell near the penalty area in the 15th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Waterlooville's protests and gave Khalel Al Sohali a yellow card for diving instead. A collision led to Waterlooville getting a freekick after 15 minutes play. Khalel Al Sohali hit a great ball. Barrak Al Barrak didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Saher Al Khars went, in the 21st minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. Darweesh Al Hajri showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Khalaf Al Baghli, who was totally free with the ball in the 31st minute. Wael Al Motaire charged in rather forcefully in the 33rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Wael Al Motaire the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After a rather tough play, Waterlooville's Wael Al Motaire got a free kick in the 33rd minute. After 41 minutes of play, Portchester's Saher Al Khars made it 0-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Barrak Al Barrak was left in no man's land by his defense there! Naji Al Ajmi struck a weak shot in the 49th minute. Barrak Al Barrak didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Portchester. Disappointed in the 0-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Khalaf Al Baghli to make the kick off. If Khalaf Al Baghli had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 57th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Barrak Al Barrak made an important save on a dangerous shot by Saher Al Khars in the 61st minute. Darweesh Al Hajri made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Khalel Al Sohali in the 68th minute of play. 70 minutes into the match, Khalaf Al Baghli notched a goal, 1-2, to the right of Portchester's Darweesh Al Hajri. Darweesh Al Hajri was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Portchester's Darweesh Al Hajri played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Khalaf Al Baghli in the 73rd minute of play. If Naji Al Ajmi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 81st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Khalaf Al Baghli received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 84th minute. Darweesh Al Hajri tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Naji Al Ajmi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 88th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Barrak Al Barrak made a fantastic save in the 90th minute, when Saher Al Khars sent off a good shot on target. Khalaf Al Baghli sent away a hard shot on goal in the 92nd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
