Yazeed Hayat was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 47th minute. Trowell City's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 1-0.

When Yazeed Hayat came up free with the goalie in the 64th minute, the Trowell City 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 Yazeed Hayat couldn't finish the play.
