Al-Wasl fell into the trap of a positive 2-2 draw with its host Al-Wasl, today, Thursday, at Zabeel Stadium, at the start of the seventh round.
The draw is considered disappointing for both teams, as Al-Wasl occupies sixth place with (9 points), and Al-Jazira comes in third place with (13 points), 5 points away from the top of the league occupied by Al-Sharjah and Shabab Al-Ahly (they have a postponed match with Al-Ain).
Al Jazira entered the match with the best possible scenario when they took the lead with a goal through Vinicius Melo after a cross ball distributed by Nexnis Kebano from the left side, which he headed into the goal without the slightest harassment from the defenders (7).
The Turkish defender, Ravil Tagir, spoiled the joy of Al Jazira’s lead when he tried to return the ball to his goalkeeper, Ali Khaseef, so Haris Seferovic snatched it and tied for Al Wasl “12”.
The goal did not fall from the advantage that Al-Jazira had from the beginning of the match, so it scored a fixed kick in front of the box, which it played into the human wall.
“Abu Dhabi Pride” was able to score a goal through Vinicius Melo before the end of the first half, but the video technology (VAR) intervened to cancel the goal due to offside.
Al-Wasl’s performance improved in the second session, and it was the better side for quite some time, and was able to translate its advantage into a goal after a wonderful sentence that started with Fabio Lima and then to Jimenez, who distributed a perfect ball that put Jonatas Santos in a confrontation with the goalkeeper to score the lead goal (51).
But Al Wasl’s defense was unable to maintain its lead, as Ramon Merez succeeded in translating Richard Akonor’s cross into the equalizer (82).
