Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Adnan Shabakhoh made the kick off which started today's match. If Basem Al Herz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 3rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 5th minute the ball was on its way in behind Spaxton City's goalkeeper Jarah Al Sohali, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. In the 7th minute Basem Al Herz shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jarah Al Sohali saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 9 minutes into the match, Doncaster's goalkeeper Derar Al Motaire had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Ali Al Khobaize. Adnan Shabakhoh's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Jarah Al Sohali read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 16th minute of play. Ali Al Khobaize fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 24th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Derar Al Motaire having to interfere. Doncaster's Derar Al Motaire played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Seraj Shrean in the 26th minute of play. 33 minutes into the match, Spaxton City's goal looked a bit too open when Khalaf Al Qattan came free, but Jarah Al Sohali reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Basem Al Herz fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 35th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Jarah Al Sohali having to interfere. The referee felt a red card was in order, 39 minutes into the game, when Nasser Al Azmi put in a rough tackle. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 39th minute of the game. One of Spaxton City:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Doncaster:s goal. If Adnan Shabakhoh had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 45th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Jarah Al Sohali didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Adnan Shabakhoh went, in the 48th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-2 was the resulting score.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Ali Al Khobaize to make the kick off. In the 55th minute, Ali Al Khobaize ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Derar Al Motaire was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-2. After a defensive mix-up in Spaxton City's zone, Basem Al Herz stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Jarah Al Sohali came out of the goal and Basem Al Herz tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Ali Al Khobaize recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 63rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Ali Al Khobaize had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 66th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 66 played minutes Doncaster got a freekick which was hit by Bandar Al Mahmed. In the 67th minute, Ali Al Khobaize ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Derar Al Motaire was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-2. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Adnan Shabakhoh in the 74th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Jarah Al Sohali saved Spaxton City from getting behind. When Masuod Kakoli fell near the penalty area in the 83rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Spaxton City's protests and gave Masuod Kakoli a yellow card for diving instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Adnan Shabakhoh in the 84th minute of play forced Spaxton City's goalkeeper Jarah Al Sohali to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 89 minutes, Moner Shabakhoh mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Spaxton City and the Doncaster players grew even worse after the yellow card. Jarah Al Rodhan was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 91st played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. Adnan Shabakhoh fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 94th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Jarah Al Sohali having to interfere. In the 96th minute, Basem Al Herz 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. The Doncaster players were the happier at the end of the match as they had prevented Spaxton City from taking control. The game ends in a draw.
