In the second half, the British School of Bahrain attacked in numbers, while Al Jabriya Technical School closed all the spaces in the back and adopted counter-attack strategy.

They didn’t just manage to thwart all their opponents’ assaults, but also scored a fourth goal through Sayed Ali Jawad, who successfully completed a well-executed counter-attack.

Meanwhile, Shaikh Abdulaziz Secondary School came back from 1-0 behind to win 3-1 in their match against Bayan School, held at Al Ittihad Club’s football field.

The first half saw both teams’ goalkeepers putting in strong performances as the first half ended 0-0.

Bayan School’s Sami Oudeh found the net in the second half, much to the shock of Shaikh Abdulaziz School.
