Just before the end of the first half, MCFC gave the ball away cheaply, but Bruno took a shot that was off target. Minutes later, Diaby took a shot from point-blank range by Lachenpa again and produced an exceptional save. That brought an end to the action of the first half.
The second half began just like the first with both sides struggling to create chances. Bruno had another opportunity to give his side the lead, but again hsi shot went off target.
Lachenpa continued his performance from the first half and denied Al Jazira from taking the lead in this match.
In the closing stages of the game, Diego Mauricio was through on goal but his shot was saved by Ali Khasif.
That was the last of the action in the game and the match ended in a goalless draw.
