After 10 played minutes FC TraLaLa got a freekick which was hit by Șerban Rareș. Aadil Al Harban didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Bogdan Gogea went, in the 13th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-1 was the resulting score.

After 17 played minutes FC TraLaLa got a freekick which was hit by Șerban Rareș.

In the 27th minute, Golden Tigers's Fared Al Adsani dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 1-1.

Disappointed in the 1-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Mansour Al Ramzi to strike the kick off in the second half. 54 minutes into the match, Fared Al Adsani had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Mihăiţă Fărcașu. FC TraLaLa's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Fared Al Adsani was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-2. After a defensive mix-up in Golden Tigers's zone, Bogdan Gogea stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Aadil Al Harban came out of the goal and Bogdan Gogea tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Paul Romeo kicked well hit freekick during the 65th minute of the match. The referee felt a red card was in order, 68 minutes into the game, when Dhari Al Mansor put in a rough tackle. After a long run with the ball, Bogdan Gogea did a trick in the 71st minute in front of Golden Tigers's goalkeeper, who threw himself to the side. After that it was simple to shoot 2-3. An impressive performance by FC TraLaLa's Bogdan Gogea! After 74 minutes, Bandar Al Amer mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Golden Tigers and the FC TraLaLa players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 74th match minute, Golden Tigers was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Bandar Al Amer to maneuver through the defense. Bogdan Gogea, 74 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal.

FC TraLaLa's Bogdan Gogea took a good shot, in the 80th minute, which hit the crossbar above Aadil Al Harban's head, and flew over the goal. Golden Tigers's manager was very thankful on the sidelines as his team had managed to keep the ball out of the net after some serious pressure by FC TraLaLa.

He was clearly angry that they had squandered their superior possession, allowing FC TraLaLa to win.
