After having played for 89 minutes, Aydril Sadmi managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Fulbourn City's supporters crossed their fingers, but Aydril Sadmi was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Hachemi Harkat struck a weak shot in the 94th minute. Nadji Mérah-Benida didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Welwyn Garden City United. Neither set of supporters seemed pleased with the draw, but both teams had played equally well today.
