League Play-Off

Locksheath Park
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Wasel Al Baghli got the match started through his kick off. 4 minutes into the match, Bradford on Avon FC's Mosaed Al Ali sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Masuod Al Hammady narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Sobah Al Arbash showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Wasel Al Baghli in the 6th minute of the match. After 10 played minutes, Bradford on Avon FC's Sameer Al Attar shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Masuod Al Hammady came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Bradford on Avon FC reached it. Masuod Al Hammady came out of the goal in the 14th minute to try and stop a shot by Bradford on Avon FC's Ammar Bo Qamaz. But to his dismay, Ammar Bo Qamaz quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. In the 17th minute the ball was on its way in behind Bradford on Avon FC's goalkeeper Sobah Al Arbash, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The crowd rose to their feet as Locksheath's Nader Al Matrok slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Sobah Al Arbash. That made the score 1-1 after 17 minutes of play. Nader Al Matrok's shot when he came free in front of the goal in the 23rdth minute, Sobah Al Arbash skillfully showed off with a save to what seemed to be an obvious goal. If Ammar Bo Qamaz had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 27th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a rather tough play, Locksheath's Mazen Al Ali got a free kick in the 30th minute. Khalaf Al Homaithe took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 31st minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Masuod Al Hammady. Locksheath's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Masuod Al Hammady showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ammar Bo Qamaz, who was totally free with the ball in the 35th minute. After 38 minutes of play, Bradford on Avon FC's Mosaed Al Ali made it 1-2 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Masuod Al Hammady was left in no man's land by his defense there! Sobah Al Arbash made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Wasel Al Baghli in the 46th minute of play. After 48 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Bradford on Avon FC! When the match had been going on for 49 minutes, Locksheath's Mosab Al Wazan got an opportunity to shoot a penalty. He stayed cool and waited for the goalkeeper to move, before he confidently shot the ball into the goal, to the left of Sobah Al Arbash. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Mosaed Al Ali was the one to do the kick off. When Ammar Bo Qamaz came up free with the goalie in the 57th minute, the Bradford on Avon FC 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 Ammar Bo Qamaz couldn't finish the play. If Mosaed Al Ali had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 58th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 62nd minute, Nader Al Matrok ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Sobah Al Arbash was frozen by the shot and now it was 3-2. In the 69th minute, Ammar Bo Qamaz fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post. In the 71st minute, Mosaed Al Ali ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Masuod Al Hammady was frozen by the shot and now it was 3-3. With a little luck, Locksheath's Masuod Al Hammady got control of the ball when Ammar Bo Qamaz tried to sneak it across the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in Locksheath's zone, Ammar Bo Qamaz stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Masuod Al Hammady came out of the goal and Ammar Bo Qamaz tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Mosaed Al Ali in the 77th minute of play forced Locksheath's goalkeeper Masuod Al Hammady to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 82ndth minute of the game Wasel Al Baghli who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Bradford on Avon FC's Sobah Al Arbash was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. In the 85th minute Nader Al Matrok shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Sobah Al Arbash saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Ammar Bo Qamaz recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 88th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Mamon Al Mosawe hit a great freekick 89 minutes into the match. Masuod Al Hammady came out of the goal in the 94th minute to try and stop a shot by Bradford on Avon FC's Ammar Bo Qamaz. But to his dismay, Ammar Bo Qamaz quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 3-4. Locksheath's Wasel Al Baghli got a good chance for a goal in the 98th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Nader Al Matrok blasted a shot towards the goal in the 100th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Sobah Al Arbash having to make a save.
