League Play-Off

Mirfield Park
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Rida Al Khobaize took the kick off in the first half of the match. Ghaith Al Besher received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 4th minute. Barakat Shrean tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Barakat Shrean showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Salem Al Khobaize, who was totally free with the ball in the 8th minute. Mostafa Hayat fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 15th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Motlaq Al Dabos having to interfere. If Rida Al Khobaize had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 19th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Easingwold's Motlaq Al Dabos played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Rida Al Khobaize in the 22nd minute of play. In the 23rd minute, Rida Al Khobaize 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. When Rida Al Khobaize came up free with the goalie in the 26th minute, the Mirfield United 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 Rida Al Khobaize couldn't finish the play. In the 30th minute of the match Taqi Al Sallal shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Motlaq Al Dabos showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. Rida Al Khobaize fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 32nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Motlaq Al Dabos having to interfere. Motlaq Al Dabos made a fantastic save in the 36th minute, when Mostafa Hayat sent off a good shot on target. Mostafa Hayat could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 37th minute of the match, but Motlaq Al Dabos made a huge save. Mirfield United's Barakat Shrean played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Hani Al Hadhod in the 39th minute of play. Mostafa Hayats short, quick shot in the 42ndth minute got Motlaq Al Dabos to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. 44 minutes into the match, Easingwold's Salem Al Khobaize sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Barakat Shrean narrowly saved just below the crossbar. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 0-0 after a close first half.

Barakat Bo Shehri's late challenge caught a Easingwold's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Barakat Bo Shehri helped the player get up and apologised. After 60 played minutes Mirfield United got a freekick which was hit by Barakat Bo Shehri. Hani Al Hadhod received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 62nd minute. Barakat Shrean tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Qasem Al Mansor charged in rather forcefully in the 66th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Qasem Al Mansor the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After a rather tough play, Easingwold's Qasem Al Mansor got a free kick in the 66th minute. In the 68th minute Mostafa Hayat shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Motlaq Al Dabos saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 71st minute, Sameer Al Najdi hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 74 minutes into the match, Mostafa Hayat had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Motlaq Al Dabos. Easingwold's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Mostafa Hayat was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-0. Rida Al Khobaize received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 80th minute. Motlaq Al Dabos tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Barakat Bo Shehri was, once again, overly rough in his play he received his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. 81 minutes had been played. Barakat Bo Shehri hit a great freekick 82 minutes into the match. Salem Al Khobaize sent away a hard shot on goal in the 84th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Salem Al Khobaize received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 92nd minute. Barakat Shrean tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Jamal Al Arbash's late challenge caught a Easingwold's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Jamal Al Arbash helped the player get up and apologised. After 94 played minutes Mirfield United got a freekick which was hit by Jamal Al Arbash. 95 minutes into the match, Abdullah Al Amer sent off a long shot that looked like it was going straight into the goal, but because Barakat Shrean threw himself in his full length he managed to grip the ball by the left post, and there was no goal for Abdullah Al Amer this time. Mirfield United's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
