Ghasan Shrean scored 0-1 in the 12th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Saed Shamsah, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 23rdth minute of the game Saed Taqi who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Windsor's Younis Shrean was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Younis Shrean made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Saed Taqi in the 29th minute of play. Mazen Bahbhani could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 34th minute of the match, but Younis Shrean made a huge save. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Saed Taqi was the one to do the kick off. 56 minutes into the match, Tewkesbury's goalkeeper Saed Shamsah had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Zahid Al Sayer. After 58 minutes of play, Tewkesbury's Mazen Bahbhani made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Younis Shrean was left in no man's land by his defense there! Saed Taqi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 61st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Younis Shrean having to interfere. In the 66th match minute, Tewkesbury was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Hamad Bo Resley to maneuver through the defense. After 68 played minutes Windsor got a freekick which was hit by Ghasan Shrean. Zahid Al Sayer could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 81st minute of the match, but Saed Shamsah made a huge save. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ghasan Shrean in the 83rd minute of play forced Tewkesbury's goalkeeper Saed Shamsah to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. If Ghasan Shrean had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 94th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The teams fought very hard right up to the final whistle. Both sets of players were happy to go away with a draw.
