Unfortunately, A. Mufid was startled by the play and wasn't able to control the finish. This was a good period for the visitors, with several opportunities to take the lead, particularly when A. Ebensperger slipped through the defence on the right to come up alone against R. Burtea, but the home side's keeper showed his lightning reflexes. After 32 minutes of play, G. Guglielmo gave the home team a 1 - 0 lead after an attack coming in from the right. After 35 minutes, al3alami sent a free kick in high over the penalty box.
