Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28,
Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Wasel Al Khames got the match started through his kick off. Qutada Hayat scored 1-0 in the 5th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Othman Al Dekhel, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Qutada Hayat could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 9th minute of the match, but Othman Al Dekhel made a huge save. Yazeed Al Youha took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Karem Al Ghanem, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Naem Al Banai blasted a shot towards the goal in the 25th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Yazeed Al Youha having to make a save. The audience was convinced that Karem Al Ghanem's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Yazeed Al Youha was relentless in the 29th minute of the game. Karem Al Ghanem recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 31st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Yazeed Al Youha came out of the goal in the 32nd minute to try and stop a shot by Bletchingley United's Naem Al Banai. But to his dismay, Naem Al Banai quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. Karem Al Ghanem's late challenge caught a Whitechapel's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Karem Al Ghanem helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of Whitechapel booed when Bletchingley United was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 37 match minutes in a wonderful position. Karem Al Ghanem didn't get a good kick on the ball. When Karem Al Ghanem came up free with the goalie in the 39th minute, the Bletchingley United fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Karem Al Ghanem couldn't finish the play. 42 minutes into the game, Qutada Hayat was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Whitechapel's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Bletchingley United the free kick. In the 42nd minute, Qutada Hayat hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 43 minutes into the match, Karem Al Ghanem had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Yazeed Al Youha. Whitechapel's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Karem Al Ghanem was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-2. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.
When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Karem Al Ghanem made a kick off. After 51 minutes of play, Bletchingley United's Karem Al Ghanem made it 1-3 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Yazeed Al Youha was left in no man's land by his defense there! After a defensive mix-up in Whitechapel's zone, Karem Al Ghanem stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Yazeed Al Youha came out of the goal and Karem Al Ghanem tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Hani Al Amer during the 58th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. In the 57th minute, one of Whitechapel: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 Whitechapel. When the match had been going on for 60 minutes, Bletchingley United's Nayef Al Mehana got an opportunity to shoot a penalty. He stayed cool and waited for the goalkeeper to move, before he confidently shot the ball into the goal, to the left of Yazeed Al Youha. Qutada Hayat struck a weak shot in the 66th minute. Othman Al Dekhel didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Whitechapel. 78 minutes into the match, Bletchingley United's goal looked a bit too open when Wasel Al Khames came free, but Othman Al Dekhel reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
