Motlaq Al Mothaf showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Fahhad Al Mofede in the 53rd minute of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Meshal Al Banai in the 58th minute of play forced Brighouse FC's goalkeeper Motlaq Al Mothaf to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Fahhad Al Mofede took the ball and in the 60 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Motlaq Al Mothaf. Motlaq Al Mothaf dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-0. 63 minutes into the match, Brighouse FC's goal looked a bit too open when Sadeq Al Sharah came free, but Motlaq Al Mothaf reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After having played for 65 minutes, Fahhad Al Mofede managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. St Annes on Sea's supporters crossed their fingers, but Fahhad Al Mofede was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Fahhad Al Mofede fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 71st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Motlaq Al Mothaf having to interfere.
