With the start of the second half, the owners of the land rushed forward, which resulted in a goal scored by Mohamed Mohbi in the 46th minute, but it was canceled by South Korean referee Hyung Jin Ko due to infiltration, and the “video technology” approved the validity of the decision, and the goal that was canceled the team players to abandon their defensive way, and started launching attacks.

The defensive errors cost the elevated goal to receive a second goal in the 70th minute, when Mohamed Mohbi received a pass, a penetration into the penalty area amid a chase of the defense line, before he hit a land ball that settled in the net, and the subsequent minutes continued without any change in the level of the result, to incur “Al -Abyad” the loss with two clean goals.
