Darida was shown a yellow card after 23 minutes for slicing down an opponent. After 34 minutes, Hcoaicb's C. Reiter found the back of the goal with a beautiful free kick. 2 - 0. With 35 minutes played, G. Bombaerts of Hcoaicb fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. The opposing supporters gave the referee an earful when he only gave M. Kulidžan from nabil a yellow card after a mistimed challenge from behind 36 minutes into the game. That was far too lenient! Hcoaicb put in a good effort on the right, but P. Artmann saw his volley fly wide of the mark 37 minutes into the game. C. Reiter struck a 30 metre free kick home 38 minutes into the match. 3 - 0 for the home team. The teams went for the halftime break at 3 - 0. Hcoaicb had most of the ball, with 61 percent of possession.

After 59 minutes, the away team failed to deal with a good exchange of passes on the right, and J. Cordier gave the Hcoaicb supporters even more to cheer about when he increased the lead to 4 - 0. After this, you could see that the players of Hcoaicb were more interested in killing time than scoring more goals. B. Darida knew he was in trouble after hacking down an opponent. Despite his pleading with the referee, the nabil player was shown a second yellow card and dismissed from the game. J. Cordier wanted to play on, but the Hcoaicb coach had other ideas, and he was replaced 72 minutes into the game by M. Ottevaere. J. Quintijn should probably have put his team up another goal after 79 minutes, but some great goalkeeping by R. Al-Ansari kept the visitors in the game. After 81 minutes, there was a bit of a mixup on the field as Hcoaicb found themselves out of position and their organisation level dropped to weak. After 84 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by J. Quintijn might have resulted in another goal for Hcoaicb. However, R. Al-Ansari made a spectacular save. nabil had to make a substitution after 86 minutes. N. Škedelj limped off the field and was replaced by T. Fakher. Hcoaicb managed to extend their lead to 5 - 0 when J. Lantos cut in neatly from the left side and struck a fine shot past the away team's goalkeeper. Hcoaicb's J. Quintijn increased the lead to 6 - 0, after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 89 minutes. D. Magnusson of nabil received a yellow card after 89 minutes for unsportsmanlike behaviour. nabil's D. Magnusson left the field after 89 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was S. Al-Otaiba. Hcoaicb enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 67 percent of possession.

The most dominating Hcoaicb player was without a doubt M. Ottevaere. On the other hand, M. Vikström's play was disheartening. S. Al-Habtour performed admirably for nabil. T. Fakher was a disappointment, however. The match ends 6 - 0.
