Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Sulaiman Al Bloshi kicked off to start the match. Sayer Dehrab sent away a hard shot on goal in the 3rd minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. In the 11th minute the ball was on its way in behind Scawsby United's goalkeeper Fakher Al Asuosi, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Yasser Al Sallal sent away a hard shot on goal in the 12th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 16 minutes into the match, Sulaiman Al Bloshi notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Scawsby United's Fakher Al Asuosi. Fakher Al Asuosi was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. After a rather tough play, Horndean's Salam Abol got a free kick in the 20th minute. In the 21st minute Yazeed Al Banwan shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Wasel Al Mahmed saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Yasser Al Sallal's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Fakher Al Asuosi read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 31st minute of play. Yazeed Al Banwan had several of the Horndean's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 33 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 1-1 score and a disappointed Wasel Al Mahmed as he didn't even see the shot coming. Yazeed Al Banwan was extremely unlucky when he, in the 38th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. Wasel Al Mahmed made a fantastic save in the 39th minute, when Sayer Dehrab sent off a good shot on target. Yazeed Al Banwan recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 41st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 1-1 after a close first half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Yazeed Al Banwan made a kick off. A collision led to Horndean getting a freekick after 56 minutes play. Belal Al Shaikh hit a great ball. If Yasser Al Sallal had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 60th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Scawsby United's Fakher Al Asuosi played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Sulaiman Al Bloshi in the 62nd minute of play. Sayer Dehrab received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 65th minute. Wasel Al Mahmed tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Nasser Al Jalahma charged in rather forcefully in the 66th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Nasser Al Jalahma the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Yazeed Al Banwan sent away a hard shot on goal in the 69th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 72 minutes into the match, Scawsby United's Yazeed Al Banwan sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Wasel Al Mahmed narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Scawsby United's Fakher Al Asuosi proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 75th minute of the match, managed to save Scawsby United from getting a goal against them. If Sulaiman Al Bloshi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 77th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Fakher Al Asuosi showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Sulaiman Al Bloshi, who was totally free with the ball in the 79th minute. When Sayer Dehrab came up free with the goalie in the 87th minute, the Scawsby 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 Sayer Dehrab couldn't finish the play. Wasel Al Mahmed stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Sayer Dehrab's shot from short distance in the 89th minute. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Yazeed Al Banwan in the 92nd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Wasel Al Mahmed saved Horndean from getting behind. 94 minutes into the match, Scawsby United's goal looked a bit too open when Sulaiman Al Bloshi came free, but Fakher Al Asuosi reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
