League Play-Off

Topsham
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Sayer Ghadhanfer started the match with the kick off. Naem Al Sharah recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 5th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Sayer Ghadhanfer received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 8th minute. Osama Shadad tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Faisal Kakoli fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 11th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Osama Shadad having to interfere. When Msaed Al Fadhalah fell near the penalty area in the 12th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Flitwick's protests and gave Msaed Al Fadhalah a yellow card for diving instead. After 12 played minutes Flitwick got a freekick which was hit by Msaed Al Fadhalah. Hamed Al Mehana hit a great freekick 14 minutes into the match. If Rajab Al Azmi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 17th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Osama Shadad took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Sayer Ghadhanfer, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Rajab Al Azmi scored 0-1 in the 26th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Khalaf Al Homaithe, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Faisal Kakoli who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 31stth minute tested the skills of Osama Shadad when he managed to save the team from getting behind. 34 minutes into the match, Topsham City's goal looked a bit too open when Rajab Al Azmi came free, but Khalaf Al Homaithe reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Khalaf Al Homaithe showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Bassam Shams, who was totally free with the ball in the 40th minute. The audience was convinced that Rajab Al Azmi's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Khalaf Al Homaithe was relentless in the 43rd minute of the game.

A collision led to Topsham City getting a freekick after 51 minutes play. Fahhad Al Qattan hit a great ball. In the 52nd minute the ball was on its way in behind Topsham City's goalkeeper Khalaf Al Homaithe, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. In the 60th minute, Qais Dashti hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 61st minute, Hamed Al Mehana sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and Topsham City's Khalaf Al Homaithe didn't even have to move. After some fancy dribbling in the 64th minute, Bassam Shams managed to get in a good position for a shot. Flitwick's supporters rose to their feet, but Bassam Shams was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Khalaf Al Homaithe breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 68th minute, Topsham City's goalie took a deep sigh of relief after Rajab Al Azmi fired away a hard shot that went just outside the left post. After 70 played minutes Topsham City got a freekick which was hit by Jawad Al Khobaize. Sayer Ghadhanfer received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 81st minute. Osama Shadad tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Tariq Abol's late challenge caught a Topsham City's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Tariq Abol helped the player get up and apologised. Tariq Abol hit a great freekick 82 minutes into the match. Faisal Kakoli might have been able to make a better finish in the 83rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Osama Shadad. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Faisal Kakoli ran back to his position shaking his head. Sayer Ghadhanfer fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 84th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Osama Shadad having to interfere.

Sayer Ghadhanfer fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 87th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Osama Shadad having to interfere. In the 90thth minute of the game Sayer Ghadhanfer who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Flitwick's Osama Shadad was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. In the 92nd minute, Bassam Shams 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. Topsham City's Khalaf Al Homaithe played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Rajab Al Azmi in the 93rd minute of play. 95 minutes into the match, Bassam Shams had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Khalaf Al Homaithe. Topsham City's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Bassam Shams was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-2. When the final whistle sounded Flitwick left the ground with the victory after a much better performance than Topsham City.
