The match between Al-Ahly and Al-Dhafra Youth, the day before yesterday, in the first round of the Arab Gulf Cup, witnessed the participation of international player Abdulaziz Sanqour for the first time with «Dubai Knights» nearly three years ago, after he was absent during this period due to a cut in the cruciate ligament.

Sanqour's participation came in the 76th minute instead of Saeed Ahmed, to play the international player for the first official match in 1023 days, as the Al-Ahly youth defender faced difficulties in regaining his readiness, since he was severed in the cruciate ligament in August 2018, which contributed to his long absence from the stadiums.

Although Sanqour returned to training in October 2019, he did not participate in any match with the team, and the last match he played in the Arabian Gulf Cup was against Dibba Al Fujairah, on December 22, 2017, as he fought one way and then was replaced, while he did not participate in the 2017 season. - 2018, only 11 games in the Arabian Gulf League, and only three games in the Arabian Gulf Cup.

At the international level, his last appearance with the national team was in November 2017, when he participated in the two friendly experiences against Haiti and Uzbekistan on November 10 and 14, while his return is a great gain for "Dubai Knights" due to Sanqour's great experience.

Despite the Al-Ahly youth’s joy at the return of Sanqour, the debut of the Argentine Cartabia and his scoring the only goal from a penalty kick, and the participation of Cape Verdean player Ramos and the young Brazilian Igor, but Al Dhafra succeeded in disturbing the joy after Brazilian Denelson scored the equalizer in the deadly time.

The coach of Shabab Al-Ahly, the Spanish Zaragoza, confirmed that the team missed the victory in front of Al-Dhafra, and said in a press conference: "We wasted many opportunities in the first half, which were enough to secure the victory, so I was not satisfied with the performance of the Al-Ahly players."

Regarding his opinion of foreign players, he said: "Igor made a good match, but we must not forget that he is 19 years old, and he is still young and we are waiting for a better performance in the future, and he is able to do so."

He continued, "Regarding Ramos, he presented what makes us optimistic that he will achieve the required addition."

He concluded his remarks, saying: "As for Cartabia and Eduardo, we know them well through their previous matches with Al-Ahly youth, whether in local competitions or Asian champions, and we know that they are able to make the difference with the team."

The last match Sanqour played before returning, was in the Arabian Gulf Cup in December 2017.
