After a rather tough play, Windlesham City's Jalal Al Qattamy got a free kick in the 62nd minute. In the 63rd minute of the match Hassan Ashkanani shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Hakem Al Ali showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. The supporters of Windlesham City booed when Devizes City was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 71 match minutes in a wonderful position. Sameer Al Ateqi didn't get a good kick on the ball. After a defensive mix-up in Devizes City's zone, Ameer Al Hashash stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Bandar Al Asuosi came out of the goal and Ameer Al Hashash tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 74th minute, Majed Al Baghli 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.
