Spectators: 7500 (Terracing: 5400, Seating: 2000, VIP seats: 100) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Yasir Magaña started the match with the kick off. Eshaq Al Khars showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Riad Bo Qamaz in the 5th minute of the match. Al Yarmouk Kuwait's Eshaq Al Khars played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Riad Bo Qamaz in the 10th minute of play. Eshaq Al Khars showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Masuod Al Jalahma, who was totally free with the ball in the 11th minute. Hamzah Al Motar fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 14th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Naem Bo Qamaz having to interfere. In the 15th match minute, Kinik was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Saif Al Sharah to maneuver through the defense. Monther Al Mansor sent away a hard shot on goal in the 19th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 25th minute Hamzah Al Motar shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Naem Bo Qamaz saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After 27 played minutes Al Yarmouk Kuwait got a freekick which was hit by Mahmoud Al Bloshi. Al Yarmouk Kuwait's Ayoob Al Khobaize got a good chance for a goal in the 30th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. The audience was convinced that Charlie von Clausewitz's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Naem Bo Qamaz was relentless in the 35th minute of the game. 41 minutes into the game, Al Yarmouk Kuwait's Hamzah Al Motar nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Naem Bo Qamaz made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-1. After the first half Al Yarmouk Kuwait were leading 0-1. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Hamzah Al Motar to make the kick off. 52 minutes into the game, Charlie von Clausewitz cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-2. Naem Bo Qamaz was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. An unexpectedly hard shot by Riad Bo Qamaz in the 61st minute of play forced Al Yarmouk Kuwait's goalkeeper Eshaq Al Khars to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After a rather tough play, Kinik's Masuod Al Jalahma got a free kick in the 70th minute. After 73 minutes, Monther Al Mansor mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Al Yarmouk Kuwait and the Kinik players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 73rd minute, Monther Al Mansor hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Charlie von Clausewitz could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 76th minute of the match, but Naem Bo Qamaz made a huge save. Riad Bo Qamaz scored 2-2 in the 77th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Eshaq Al Khars, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Kinik's Naem Bo Qamaz proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 91st minute of the match, managed to save Kinik from getting a goal against them. In the 93rd match minute, Al Yarmouk Kuwait was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Monther Al Mansor to maneuver through the defense. The crowd rose to their feet as Ayoob Al Khobaize kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Naem Bo Qamaz. That made the score 2-3 in the 96 minute of play. The Kinik fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Al Yarmouk Kuwait were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
