Al Ain and Sharjah gave the biggest gift to Shabab Al Ahly, with a goalless draw in the match that brought them together at Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium today, Sunday, for the 11th round of the ADNOC Professional League.
The points difference between Sharjah and its direct pursuer, Shabab Al-Ahly, narrowed to two points, after Al-King raised its score to 28 points and is still in the lead, while Al-Ain rose to fourth place with 19 points.
The match was enthusiastic and exciting for both sides, as Sharjah began the confrontation with offensive activity for Sharjah, and Caio Lucas almost scored one minute after the start, but he fell into the box after intervention by Cardoso, amidst calling for a penalty kick to no avail.
On a second occasion, Caio Lucas scored a goal played with the “Heel”, after a pass made for him by Khaled Al-Dhanhani, but the (Mouse) technique intervened and canceled the goal due to the fact that the Sharjah striker was offside.
Al Ain entered the second period better than in the first half, and the Sharjah goalkeeper succeeded in keeping his net clean by blocking Abdel Karim Traoré’s shot.
Caio Lucas almost punished Al Ain for his offensive rush, and he was alone with the goal had it not been for the intervention of goalkeeper Khaled Issa, who cleared the ball twice.
