Shabab Al-Ahly received its first loss at the beginning of its career in the AFC Champions League, by defeating Uzbekistan's Pakhtakor 2-2 in front of the central stadium in Pakhtakor in the Uzbek capital, Tashkent, in the second group matches that included Al Hilal Saudi and Shaher Khordro of Iran.
The youth of Al-Ahly were affected by the heavy rains that landed on the match stadium and transformed it into a pool, which negatively affected the performance of the bad ground, while Pakhtakor invested defensive mistakes and scored two goals, while the first goal of the Spaniard Pedro Conde with the youth of Al-Ahly did not help the team achieve the tie at the very least.
Argentine coach Rodolfo Aruabarena pushed the newcomer to Al-Ahly youth, Uzbek Aziz Ganiyev, while Muhammad Sabeel participated in the defense alongside Mohamed Marzouk, and relied on Majid Hassan and Abdullah Al-Naqbi in the middle of the stadium.
The youth defenders of Al-Ahly faced great difficulties due to the heavy rains that almost caused the Serbian Dragan Siran to score the first goal of a ball that was suspended by the stadium soaked in the water.
"Cotton growers" dominated the midfield, but Majid Nasser starred in tackling a strong shot from Dragan with a free kick immediately, before Masharibov scored the first goal after Abdulaziz Haikal drove, took advantage of Majid Nasser's lead from his goal, and played the ball in the goal (18).
On the other hand, Argentine Cartabia appeared as the most active youth player of Al-Ahly, as he moved a lot, but the lack of support from the midfielders contributed to the incomplete attacks.
In the second half, the priority of the Uzbek team, which controlled the course of the game, continued, but Spain's Pedro Conde scored the equalizer after Cartabia played the first corner kick that Al-Ahly youth received, and Youssef Jaber turned it in a great way with a shot «Back on the bird», and the Uzbek goalkeeper saved it Before Kundi completed it in the goal, but Al-Ahly youth did not congratulate the goal a lot, after Pakhtakor regained its advantage with the Serbian Dragan scoring the second goal from a ball he hit from inside the penalty area (70).
Arawabarina made two changes at once, with Ahmed Khalil coming in instead of Ismail Al Hammadi, and Suhail fought for Aziz Ghaniyev, before Majid Hassan asked to go out and go in for Khamis Eid, as the situation did not change after Pakhtakor maintained his progress, and ended the match a winner.
Shabab Al-Ahly received the loss goal 3 minutes after adjusting the score.
