League Play-Off

Redbourn Stadium
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The audience was convinced that Ayman Taiban's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Adnan Al Sayer was relentless in the 4th minute of the game. 5 minutes into the game, Eyad Khorshed was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Eastham's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Redbourn the free kick. After 6 played minutes Eastham got a freekick which was hit by Eyad Khorshed. Bahaa Al Banwan showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Msaed Al Rifaee in the 8th minute of the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Msaed Al Rifaee in the 13th minute of play forced Eastham's goalkeeper Bahaa Al Banwan to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 14th minute, Sadeq Dehrab hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Msaed Al Rifaee was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 15th minute. Redbourn's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. Bahaa Al Banwan made a fantastic save in the 19th minute, when Hamzah Al Kandere sent off a good shot on target. In the 19th minute, Sadeq Dehrab hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ayman Taiban in the 22nd minute of play forced Redbourn's goalkeeper Adnan Al Sayer to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 23rd minute, Fahhad Al Najdi hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 26th minute, Hamzah Al Kandere 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. Fawzy Al Matrok hit a great freekick 27 minutes into the match. After a defensive mix-up in Redbourn's zone, Ayman Taiban stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Adnan Al Sayer came out of the goal and Ayman Taiban tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 43rd match minute, Redbourn was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Sharf Al Mothaf to maneuver through the defense. After 47 played minutes Eastham got a freekick which was hit by Basem Al Sherazi. In the 48th minute, Wasel Mandane sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Eastham's Bahaa Al Banwan didn't even have to move. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

Sayed Bo Shehri could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 55th minute of the match, but Adnan Al Sayer made a huge save. Ayman Taiban received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 57th minute. Adnan Al Sayer tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Eyad Khorshed was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 59 minutes had been played. Bahaa Al Banwan took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Msaed Al Rifaee, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Sayed Bo Shehri took the ball and in the 70 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Adnan Al Sayer. Adnan Al Sayer dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. Ayman Taiban's late challenge caught a Redbourn's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Ayman Taiban helped the player get up and apologised. Sayed Bo Shehris short, quick shot in the 79thth minute got Adnan Al Sayer to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. In the 85th minute Msaed Al Rifaee shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Bahaa Al Banwan saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Hamzah Al Kandere fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 88th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Bahaa Al Banwan having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 90th minute, Msaed Al Rifaee managed to get in a good position for a shot. Redbourn's supporters rose to their feet, but Msaed Al Rifaee was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Bahaa Al Banwan breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. The Eastham players were the happier at the end of the match as they had prevented Redbourn from taking control. The game ends in a draw.
