Spectators: 10869 (Terracing: 8152, Seating: 2500, VIP seats: 217) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Yaseen Al Ateqi took the kick off in the first half of the match. After having played for 6 minutes, Sarhan Al Mulaifi managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Al Hilal Saudi's supporters crossed their fingers, but Sarhan Al Mulaifi was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. When Younis Taqi came up free with the goalie in the 9th minute, the Saudi Pro Team City fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Younis Taqi couldn't finish the play. The audience was convinced that Yaseen Al Ateqi's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Bassam Al Hadad was relentless in the 15th minute of the game. Bassam Al Hadad didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Yaseen Al Ateqi went, in the 17th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-2 was the resulting score. Leoiar Liebana showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Younis Taqi in the 22nd minute of the match. 25 minutes into the match, Sarhan Al Mulaifi notched a goal, 0-3, to the right of Saudi Pro Team City's Bassam Al Hadad. Bassam Al Hadad was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. The Al Hilal Saudi fans' excitement grew in the 29th match minute when Al Hilal Saudi's Yaseen Al Ateqi looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 0-4 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. Yaseen Al Ateqi took the ball and in the 32 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Bassam Al Hadad. Bassam Al Hadad dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-5. In the 38th minute, Yaseen Al Ateqi made a precise shot to the right of Bassam Al Hadad. Saudi Pro Team City's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 0-6. The referee felt a red card was in order, 42 minutes into the game, when Farhan Shamsah put in a rough tackle. Leoiar Liebana had in the 43rdth minute some difficulties stopping Younis Taqi's well aimed penalty as it nearly passed him on his left side, but he still managed to hold the ball. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-6 lead.

Leoiar Liebana came out of the goal in the 53rd minute to try and stop a shot by Saudi Pro Team City's Younis Taqi. But to his dismay, Younis Taqi quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-6. In the 58th minute, Derar Al Saffar reached a very good position and smashed the ball with a huge effort into the net, just to the left of Bassam Al Hadad. The goal made the score 1-7. Derar Al Saffar might have been able to make a better finish in the 63rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Bassam Al Hadad. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Derar Al Saffar ran back to his position shaking his head. Sarhan Al Mulaifi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 67th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Sarhan Al Mulaifi's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Bassam Al Hadad read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 75th minute of play. After 79 played minutes Saudi Pro Team City got a freekick which was hit by Younis Taqi. 84 minutes into the match, Al Hilal Saudi's goal looked a bit too open when Younis Taqi came free, but Leoiar Liebana reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. An unexpected shot in the 87th minute by Sarhan Al Mulaifi got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. In the 87th match minute, Saudi Pro Team City was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Sameer Al Enzi to maneuver through the defense. 92 minutes into the match, Al Hilal Saudi's goal looked a bit too open when Hamed Al Bloshi came free, but Leoiar Liebana reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Sarhan Al Mulaifi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 96th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.
