The strategy for BauBas was to use their ability to press. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave K. Sumry from BauBas a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 34 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! BauBas's talent at pressing frustrated the spectators as the game became a dire midfield struggle. As A. Slabu had, completely unprovoked, swept the legs out from under an opponent in front of a linesman, the referee gave the BauBas player a red card without batting an eyelid. M. Kaleel was the unlucky victim and couldn't continue the game, so SaudiArabiaSoccerCl's A. Buhov had to come off the bench. SaudiArabiaSoccerCl's G. Pollicino got himself booked for a foul. 0 - 0 was the score after the first half. BauBas claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 58 percent.

BauBas's K. Sumry proved that he's been around on a football pitch before, when he took advantage of a few moments of confusion in the opposition's defensive line and elegantly scored for 0 - 1. 50 minutes into the game, BauBas were awarded a penalty and C. Wartenweiler was able to increase the visitors' lead to 0 - 2 rolling the ball in by the right post. SaudiArabiaSoccerCl had a brilliant opportunity to reply as W. Darwish received a high ball from the right, striking the ball in the air. Only Ś. Bujakiewicz's reflexes saved him. The pressing tactics used by BauBas were successful as the ball remained close to the half way line at all times. K. Sumry wanted to play on, but the BauBas coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 87 minutes into the game by Y. Psiloglou. The coach of BauBas was happy with the game so far, but still wanted to change the line up. After 88 minutes, S. Popescu came on for G. Larsen. BauBas had most of the ball, with 58 percent of possession.

The most dominating SaudiArabiaSoccerCl player was without a doubt J. Zeren. However, R. Saville made a disastrous appearance. BauBas's best player was A. Tamba. V. Kivaras turned in a dismal performance, however. The match ends 0 - 2.
