League Play-Off

Bognor Regis
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Osama Al Hammady got the match started through his kick off. After 2 played minutes, Bognor Regis's Eyad Dehrab shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Shehab Al Adsani 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 Bognor Regis reached it. Waheed Al Mahmed struck a weak shot in the 4th minute. Shehab Al Adsani didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Bognor Regis. The supporters of Bognor Regis booed when Kentish Town was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 7 match minutes in a wonderful position. Morjan Al Matrok didn't get a good kick on the ball. Mosalam Al Hajraf sent away a hard shot on goal in the 10th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Bognor Regis's attack was well implemented in the 16th minute, but when Oun Al Naqi was about to shoot he didn't get a good hit on the ball and it hit the crossbar and flew over. Goal Kick. In the 18th match minute, Kentish Town was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Abdul Mohsen Al Khobaize to maneuver through the defense. Mortada Al Adsani took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Mosalam Al Hajraf, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Mortada Al Adsani stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Osama Al Hammady's shot from short distance in the 35th minute. If Oun Al Naqi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 37th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 40 played minutes Bognor Regis got a freekick which was hit by Waleed Al Holey. After recieving a nice pass, Kentish Town's Masuod Al Dosery tried to score from far away in the 41st minute, but the ball went over the crossbar. In the 48th minute Mosalam Al Hajraf shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Mortada Al Adsani saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Oun Al Naqi to make the kick off. 56 minutes into the match, Osama Al Hammady dribbled the ball past the defender and swiftly kicked the ball to the left of Mortada Al Adsani, 0-1. Masuod Al Dosery lost his temper 62 minutes into the game and shoved another player to the ground. He was immediately shown a red card. The referee blew the whistle for a penalty in the 61st minute of the game. One of Kentish Town:s players had nearly got his shirt torn off by an opponent while getting free in front of Bognor Regis:s goal. After having played for 75 minutes, Morjan Al Matrok managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Kentish Town's supporters crossed their fingers, but Morjan Al Matrok was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. An unexpectedly hard shot by Mosalam Al Hajraf in the 77th minute of play forced Bognor Regis's goalkeeper Mortada Al Adsani to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Mortada Al Adsani made an important save on a dangerous shot by Mosalam Al Hajraf in the 80th minute. During the 80th minute of the match Waleed Al Holey completely mistimed his tackle and brought down his opponent. The referee gave Waleed Al Holey a yellow card, his second in the match, which meant he could no longer take part in the game. A collision led to Bognor Regis getting a freekick after 81 minutes play. Waleed Al Holey hit a great ball. 82 minutes into the game, Mosaed Jiragh was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Kentish Town's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Bognor Regis the free kick. After 82 played minutes Kentish Town got a freekick which was hit by Mosaed Jiragh. Mortada Al Adsani made an important save on a dangerous shot by Mosalam Al Hajraf in the 86th minute. Mortada Al Adsani made a fantastic save in the 87th minute, when Mosalam Al Hajraf sent off a good shot on target. Morjan Al Matrok might have been able to make a better finish in the 88th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Mortada Al Adsani. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Morjan Al Matrok ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 98th match minute, Bognor Regis was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Faraj Al Muwail to maneuver through the defense. Meqdad Ashkanani was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 99th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. The Kentish Town players were relieved to hear the final whistle blow to end the match. The away crowd was happy to see their team win after a very tight game.
