qazza had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Hadad - El-Bashir, Musayyab, Ajmi, Haj-Abir - Huzayel, Zuabi, Sultan, Abu-Aziz - Bin-Ibrahim, Hamdan.

22 minutes into the match, the visiting qazza made the score 0 - 1 after F. Musayyab executed a perfect free kick. The visitors' A. El-Bashir took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and centre backs 25 minutes into the match. 0 - 2 for qazza. After the ball was lifted in from the left, J. Hamdan was on his own in the home side's penalty area and should have scored after 32 minutes, but missed, probably due to lack of concentration. qazza's J. Bin-Ibrahim got himself booked for a foul. In a fantastic display of determination, united-5's M. Abdalla forced himself to his feet, after an opponent viciously knocked him down. A. El-Anwar of united-5 received a yellow card after 38 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. With 40 minutes played, J. Bin-Ibrahim nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. It was 0 - 2 at the break. qazza enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 52 percent of possession.

49 minutes into the game, qazza worked the left side industriously creating several opportunities to add to their lead, but just couldn't apply the finishing touch. J. Hamdan was, after 74 minutes, almost able to extend the visitors' lead with a well placed diving header after the ball had looped into the centre, but the home side's keeper M. Abed-Hussain made the save. 83 minutes into the match, J. Bin-Ibrahim came through the middle and almost added to his team's lead, but the shot went wide. qazza's K. Abu-Aziz refused to leave the field after injuring his achilles tendon after 86 minutes. After 86 minutes, a mistake by the home side's left defence allowed J. Hamdan to get through. He outclassed the home side's keeper, adding another goal for the visitors. 0 - 3. A defender managed to keep the ball from crossing the goal-line after a curling shot coming in from the right from Z. Huzayel after 87 minutes, and prevented qazza from going up another goal. Possession in this half belonged to qazza, who controlled the ball 54 percent of the time.

united-5's top performer was clearly A. El-Anwar. R. Bin-Hamdan on the other hand, had a terrible day. Most important qazza player was F. Zuabi. S. Hadad was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 3.
