Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Talaat Gaser started the match with the kick off. Ramez Naguib showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ayman El-Khateeb in the 5th minute of the match. After 6 played minutes Dumqat got a freekick which was hit by Aemara Waheed. Waheed Mohab sent away a hard shot on goal in the 9th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After some fancy dribbling in the 19th minute, Ayman El-Khateeb managed to get in a good position for a shot. Seyala's supporters rose to their feet, but Ayman El-Khateeb was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ramez Naguib breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. When Ayman El-Khateeb came up free with the goalie in the 22nd minute, the Seyala 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 Ayman El-Khateeb couldn't finish the play. Ramez Naguib showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ayman El-Khateeb in the 24th minute of the match.

The referee showed Aemara Waheed the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. The supporters of Seyala booed when Dumqat was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 25 match minutes in a wonderful position. Aemara Waheed didn't get a good kick on the ball.
