Ameri, who seemed unable to keep up with the other players. Boca's P. Wongpun swung in a good chance from the left, but the visitors' defence were able to clear the ball. desertandcamel's counterattacks created a good chance for I. Al-Naimai on the right after 78 minutes, but he could only look on with dismay as his strike rebounded off the crossbar. Coming in on the left, I. Al-Naimai did everything right to get a goal for desertandcamel after 80 minutes, but his finishing shot was stabbed clear by the keeper.
