JuveCimbom 3 - 2 ę9, (374585330)

Due to an all-day shower, 12000 paying spectators got to see a match on a pitch-turned-bog at Stadio San Juve. Mario Wagner was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Co Leeuwangh and Enrico Gaeta. JuveCimbom had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. Lineup: Badran - Jabri, Abu Dahab, El-Wahesh, Sharaf - Dawoud, Mahmoud, El-Shareef, Saleem - Al-Dahhan, Obeid.

ę9, decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. Starters: Hmeedat - Nasralla, Abbasi, El-Far, Abu Laila - Abu Hmaid, El-Waked, Saqer, Sub Laban - Ramahy, Barjes.

After 7 minutes, K. Jabri sent the corner kick right to N. Dawoud who headed it sharply past the keeper. 1 - 0! T. Saleem unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors' keeper did well to tip wide. T. Obeid should probably have put his team up another goal after 18 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by M. Hmeedat kept the visitors in the game. Some brilliant football from the visitors' right wing resulted in a levelling of the score as ę9,'s K. Barjes put the ball in the onion bag after 19 minutes to make it 1 - 1. 27 minutes into the match and the home team took a 2 - 1 lead after breaking through on the left. The scorer for JuveCimbom was T. Saleem. 2 - 1 was the halftime score. Possession in this half belonged to JuveCimbom, who controlled the ball 62 percent of the time.

With 55 minutes played, JuveCimbom's N. Dawoud almost extended the lead, but his shot from the left glanced off the top of the bar to fall behind the net. A lot of people in the terraces claimed the penalty resulting in ę9,'s M. Nasralla equaliser for 2 - 2 was a mistake by the referee. He did, however, have a very good view of the situation from his position. R. Abu Hmaid of ę9, received a yellow card after 65 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. 86 minutes into the game, L. Mahmoud had to leave the pitch due to a knee injury. In came Q. Sammour. O. El-Wahesh's lack of experience almost gave ę9, a goal after 87 minutes, but the shot went right into the keeper's arms. JuveCimbom took the lead after 88 minutes as a result of Q. Sammour's peach of a shot from the right hand side of the box - placed beautifully in the top corner. 3 - 2. JuveCimbom's N. Dawoud was shown a yellow card after 89 minutes for slicing down an opponent. With 89 minutes gone, ę9, had a free kick in a decent position. Despite this being a great chance for a shot, they tried a cheeky move intended to bypass the defence. However, Z. Saqer did not manage to connect with it cleanly and the ball went out. With 89 minutes played, H. Ramahy of ę9, fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. O. El-Wahesh was struggling to make the ball dance with his usual trickery and panache, and the opposing players had little trouble shutting him down in these muddy conditions. A. Sub Laban, who often relies on his speed, had a rotten day on the drenched grass. K. Jabri almost put JuveCimbom ahead another goal when he curled a free kick over the defensive wall and almost into the net, but the visitors' keeper got there just in time to knock it wide. JuveCimbom enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 66 percent of possession.

The most dominating JuveCimbom player was without a doubt H. Abu Dahab. On the other hand, A. El-Shareef's play was disheartening. ę9,'s top performer was clearly H. Ramahy. H. El-Waked turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 3 - 2.
