All eyes on this match as the two giants of the workers cup went head to head. GCC came in to this game with their 100% record and no goals conceded, while AlAsmakh came second in their group behind the competition favorites Team Outlook.

The game started off with both sides being cautious and defensive yet very physical. Al Asmakh started the game on the offensive howver the game was a tight affair, with many tactical fouls from sides as the first half ended scoreless.

Second half started with more intensity as neither side could go through with that precious goal.

His second yellow card came in minute 35 into the 2^nd half of the match with a dangerous tackle on GCC’s number 13 Otieno.

Another physical match, with both teams trying to break each other’s defense on the counter attack. Both sides played a tactical match in the first half.

The second half was a lot more entertaining with both teams trying to sneak that goal. The game now looking more likely to end with another penalty shoot out, but Midmac’s number 8 Tengey had other ideas.

With six minutes to go on the clock, Tengey exchanged neat passing passes with number 10 Baah outside Amana`s area, Tengey then calmly scored one on with the goalkeeper to give Midmac a deserved lead. Midmac will now face GCC in the semifinals in a highly anticipated match.
