The supporters of Rayleigh booed when Perverts FC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 45 match minutes in a wonderful position. Kadar Shihab didn't get a good kick on the ball. Dani Hilmi was probably a little too eager to shoot when he, in the 46th played minute, shot the ball from way out. The shot was hard, but the ball flew wide of the goal. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

Ismail Fakir received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 52nd minute. Bashar Bakri tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.

But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Sarwat Ghanim couldn't finish the play.
