The striker of the national team, Sebastian Tigali, presented himself to the Al-Nasr crowd in the best possible way, after he led the "Brigadier" to victory over his traditional rival Al-Wasl, by three goals without response, in "Derby Bur Dubai", at Al Wasl Stadium in Zabeel, the day before yesterday. In the third round of the Arab Gulf League.

While the former Al-Wahda striker received many criticisms, due to his return in the first two rounds of the league, and his absence from scoring in front of Al-Jazeera and Khorfakkan, he appeared in a great level against Al-Wasl, after he scored the first and second goals, before making the third goal for Diaa Saba.

The 35-year-old player got several gains from the "derby", most notably that he raised the balance of his goals in the league competition to 154 goals, to start the journey to reach the league's historic top scorer title, as he was separated from the leader of the list, the former Al Wasl star. Fahd Khamis has 11 goals, as the latter has 165 goals, while Tigali is away from his pursuit, Al-Jazira striker Ali Mabkhout, who has 146 goals.

On the other hand, he strengthened his goalscoring record in Al Wasl, in the league competition, as he had scored 10 goals with Al Wehdah against the "Emperor", before he scored a double, the day before yesterday, and raised his score to 12 goals, while Al Jazeera is the most goal-recipient from Tigali, With 17 goals, then Sharjah 16, and each of his current club Al-Nasr and Dibba Al-Fujairah 13 goals.

On the other hand, victory wins are not limited to Tigali's brilliance, but Cape Verde's player, Ryan Mendes, made a great match. He was the most active player of the "Brigadier" in the first half, and caused the first goal, after he hit the ball and bounced off the post, and Tigali completed it in the net. Meanwhile, Diaa Sabaa got a strong moral boost, after he scored his first goal with the "Brigadier". He also contributed to making the first goal, and making the second with great skill for Tigali.

For his part, the coach of Al-Nasr, the Croatian Kronoslav, expressed his happiness with the victory, reaching seven points, and said in the press conference: “We know the importance of this type of match, but in reality when I prepared the players before the match, I confirmed to them that the match is worth only three points. It is no different from the other games ».

He added: "With the passage of time, we regained our self-confidence, and that was very important, as the performance improved, the team started to play well, and we wasted more than three goals, while I see that this victory is the beginning of the road to success for victory."

Al-Nasr will not face strong matches in the fourth and fifth rounds, as it meets Ajman, then faces Hatta.

While in the sixth round, the toughest test will be against the defending champion, the Sharjah team.
