League Play-Off

Keswick Park
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Saed Al Srae got the match started through his kick off. After some fancy dribbling in the 3rd minute, Saed Al Srae managed to get in a good position for a shot. Tavistock United's supporters rose to their feet, but Saed Al Srae was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ammar Al Mosawe breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Tavistock United's Waleed Shrean got a good chance for a goal in the 7th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Meshari Al Mulaifi might have been able to make a better finish in the 9th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Ammar Al Mosawe. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Meshari Al Mulaifi ran back to his position shaking his head. Esmael Taqi 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. Meshari Al Mulaifi's late challenge caught a Keswick FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Meshari Al Mulaifi helped the player get up and apologised. Meshari Al Mulaifi hit a great freekick 17 minutes into the match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Saed Al Srae in the 26th minute of play forced Keswick FC's goalkeeper Ammar Al Mosawe to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 28th match minute, Keswick FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Hassan Al Khars to maneuver through the defense. If Waleed Shrean had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 31st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Salah Al Enzi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 38th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. Esmael Taqi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 38th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Mamon Hayat having to interfere. The supporters of Keswick FC booed when Tavistock United was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 44 match minutes in a wonderful position. Naem Al Jarah didn't get a good kick on the ball. The score stood at 0-0 when the half time whistle went. Both sets of players seemed reasonably pleased with how the match was going.

The wind increased when Salah Al Enzi made the kick off in the second half. Salah Al Enzi recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 51st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Tavistock United's Mamon Hayat played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Salah Al Enzi in the 57th minute of play. If Saed Al Srae had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 59th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 64 minutes into the match, Tavistock United's goal looked a bit too open when Salah Al Enzi came free, but Mamon Hayat reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Saed Al Srae struck a weak shot in the 71st minute. Ammar Al Mosawe didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Tavistock United. After some fancy dribbling in the 73rd minute, Meshari Al Mulaifi managed to get in a good position for a shot. Tavistock United's supporters rose to their feet, but Meshari Al Mulaifi was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Ammar Al Mosawe breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 75th minute Esmael Taqi shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Mamon Hayat saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 77th minute, Esmael Taqi left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Keswick FC fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-0. After 81 minutes, Shaban Taqi mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Tavistock United and the Keswick FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 81st minute, Shaban Taqi hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Saed Al Srae during the 84th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. After a rather tough play, Tavistock United's Saed Al Srae got a free kick in the 84th minute. A hard and well directed shot from Rajab Al Dosery led 85 minutes into the game to a goal after the ball had bounced deceptively just in front of the goal. Tavistock United's Mamon Hayat became a little unsure and couldn't grip the ball before it was over the goalline. Thus it was 2-0. In the 93rd minute the ball was on its way in behind Keswick FC's goalkeeper Ammar Al Mosawe, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The referee blew his whistle, and the match came to a close. The players exchanged shirts and headed down the tunnel. The Keswick FC fans cheered their team off the field, for while Tavistock United had put up a good fight, they were unable to come out of the game with any points to show for their effort.
