An unexpectedly hard shot by Aws Al Gareb in the 42nd minute of play forced Perivale's goalkeeper Osama Al Youha to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Aws Al Gareb received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 47th minute. Osama Al Youha tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Aws Al Gareb was the one to do the kick off. Basel Al Banai charged in rather forcefully in the 57th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Basel Al Banai the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Basel Al Banai kicked well hit freekick during the 57th minute of the match. After a defensive mix-up in Cove FC's zone, Mamon Al Hadad stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Talal Al Sayer came out of the goal and Mamon Al Hadad tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After having played for 71 minutes, Qutaiba Al Mehana managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Perivale's supporters crossed their fingers, but Qutaiba Al Mehana was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Perivale's defense didn't have a chance, in the 76th minute, when Sror Al Khars scored to the left of an out of position Osama Al Youha, making the score, 0-2. Qutaiba Al Mehana's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Talal Al Sayer read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 80th minute of play. If Aws Al Gareb had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 81st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Sror Al Khars sent away a hard shot on goal in the 83rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 86 minutes into the match, Aws Al Gareb dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Osama Al Youha, 0-3. Perivale's Osama Al Youha played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Aws Al Gareb in the 88th minute of play. Osama Al Youha stood somewhat misplaced when Aws Al Gareb came free in front of goal and shot 0-4 to the left of him in the 91 minute.
