Yesterday, the Al-Ahly youth team snapped three precious points from runners-up Sharjah, after winning at the end of the first stage of the Arab Gulf League with a score of 2-2, to move away to the top of the standings with eight points, and with 32 points, leaving the conflict of qualifying between three teams. Al-Ahly youth confirmed his strength this season in this match, as well as his ability to quickly return to the atmosphere of victories, after the cup relapse.

The audiences participating in the "Emirates Today" vote saw that Al-Ahly youth will not overlook the top of our league this season, as the public’s opinion was requested on the victory and placing Al-Ahly youth in the ranking table, through a question on “Emirates Today” account in “Twitter”: « Share our opinion .. How do you see Al-Ahly youths win over Sharjah and moved away from the lead by eight points from its nearest competitors, while having the strongest attack and defense in the championship so far?

Three responses were monitored: they will not be overpowered, Al Ain is able to return, and Al Jazeera and Al Nasr are competing. 532 participants participated in the vote, expecting more than half, and 51% expecting Al-Ahly youth not to overpower the top, while 32% expected Al Ain's ability to return, and the lowest percentage was Al-Jazira and Al-Nasr (17%), that they are able to continue to compete for the league title. Sports analyst Khaled Obaid agreed with the public’s opinion that Al-Ahly youth became the first and perhaps the only candidate to win the league title, according to the data and numbers of the first round, all of which are in his interest, as he only received seven goals and scored 31 goals.

Obaid said to «Emirates Today»: «Al-Ahly youth succeeded in achieving victory, and presented his credentials as a first candidate, unless something unnatural happened. During the first round, he proved that he is the best, while the conflict will intensify over the second place among seven teams with the entry of Al Dhafra, and the island may be the closest and most possessing solutions, but he still needs support if he is looking for competition.

All data now refer to Al-Ahly youth, as the hero was often the strongest line of defense and attack. In the last season, when he crowned Sharjah, he received only 30 goals in the season, and after 13 rounds, Al-Ahly youth received seven goals, as he scored 31, which are distinct numbers , Will be an important addition to the team in the second stage of the season.

It seems that the most beautiful and strongest struggle this season will not be over the league champion, but rather the runner-up, the adult square and the qualifying centers for the Asian champions, especially that there are seven teams that are now with a slight difference between them, beginning with Al Ain, Al Jazeera and Sharjah with 24 points, then Al Dhafra and Al Nasr 23 points, Al Wasl has 21 points, and so is the 20-point unit.

It remains the most prominent at the end of the first stage, that the summit of round 13 fulfilled its promises, and it came very exciting until the last moment, as Al Ahly youth advanced, then Sharjah fair progressed, before Al Ahly youth turned things around and achieved victory. What is certain is that the second stage will start exciting as well, especially in the Al Wasl and Al Nasr defenses, and also Al Dhafra with Al Jazira in matches after that will be the final taste of the cups for those who wish to continue to compete for the league title.

Undoubtedly, the battle will continue in the competition as well, but at the bottom of the league, especially after Khorfakkan’s situation became very difficult, as the first stage ended and it did not achieve any victory, and it remained with its four points that came through only draws. While in contrast, Hatta continued to falter, and still suffers in the penultimate position with eight points, and is considered with Khorfakkan the most prominent candidates for the decline so far, despite the fact that the entire stage is still remaining, and anything that can happen, especially since the difference of points is Hatta and the owner of the center The 12th, Fujairah is not big, and it reaches only two points, compared to a difference of only five points with the 11th place owner Kalba, while even Ajman Tenth is still in the danger circle, as it is only six points away from Hatta. The same is true for the Bani Yas team, despite the fact that it won a big and important game at the expense of victory, but it does not maintain a stable pattern of results, as is also the case with Ajman, both teams are equal in point 14, and the season started strongly, as it arrived Ajman is in a period to third place before its results unduly retracted in the last stage, affected by injuries.

And the new deals this January may play an important role in reshaping the nature of competition in the coming period, especially as 13 games are still remaining, and with it all the secrets of our league this season.
