“Killer goal” saves Al-Ahli youth from a draw trap against Al-Bataeh

Iranian international Sardar Azmoun scored a late winner against Al Bataeh in the second minute of stoppage time to lead his team Shabab Al Ahli to a 2-1 victory, thus saving the Knights’ start this evening in the ADNOC Professional Football League, which the team seeks to regain after losing it last season.

The match was heading towards a 1-1 draw, which was considered a disappointing result for the team at the start of the campaign, but Azmoun had the final say after he hit a cross from his teammate Santos Silva with one touch into the net, sparking wild joy in his team’s stands.

Returning to the match, the guests had taken the lead through Anatoly Bertrand in the 66th minute with a wonderful goal from a technical set piece, but substitute Mounes Dabour was able to score the equaliser just two minutes later, specifically in the 68th minute, which was the goal that the match was heading towards the end on before Sardar Azmoun snatched the late victory in the 90+2 minute, giving the Knights 3 precious points.
