But to his dismay, Akram El-Saeed quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 9-0. Akram El-Saeed recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 64th minute.

The Bigam fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 12-1. There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Bigam fully deserved thier win.
