League Play-Off

Swanage Park
Spectators: 40 (Terracing: 31, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Yahya Al Youha started the match with the kick off. 3 minutes into the match, Swanage AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Yahya Al Youha came free, but Ayman Al Kandere reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Yahya Al Youha received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 6th minute. Ayman Al Kandere tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Ayman Al Kandere didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Yahya Al Youha went, in the 11th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score. Mamon Al Hadad fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 16th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Aesem Al Qattan having to interfere. With an all-out effort, Swanage AFC's Aesem Al Qattan threw himself towards the right post 31 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Mamon Al Hadad, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. Yaqoot Al Ajmi's late challenge caught a Swanage AFC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Yaqoot Al Ajmi helped the player get up and apologised. After a rather tough play, Penge's Yaqoot Al Ajmi got a free kick in the 32nd minute. 35 minutes into the match, Penge's goalkeeper Aesem Al Qattan had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Abdul Aziz Al Sharaf.

Ayman Al Kandere didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Penge. Ayman Al Kandere showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Shaker Al Azmi in the 46th minute of the match.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Mamon Al Hadad made a kick off. After a rather tough play, Swanage AFC's Zaher Al Arbash got a free kick in the 53rd minute. If Yahya Al Youha had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 54th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Swanage AFC's goalkeeper couldn't reach when Yahya Al Youha 56 minutes into the game got a good kick on the ball which found its way into goal just inside left pole. 0-3.

Aesem Al Qattan was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. When Shaker Al Azmi came up free with the goalie in the 76th minute, the Penge 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 Shaker Al Azmi couldn't finish the play. In the 79th minute, Yaqoot Al Ajmi hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 81st minute, Yaqoot Al Ajmi hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.

Swanage AFC's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
