Spectators: 45 (Terracing: 35, Seating: 10, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Arthur Williams took the kick off in the first half of the match.

Cian Daoust took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Hamzah Bo Abbas, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side.
