Shabab Al-Ahly imposed a draw on their guest Al-Wehda 1-1, yesterday, in the third round of the Gulf Arab League for football, to maintain their record free of defeats against Al-Wehda in the matches they gathered at Al Nahyan Stadium for the tenth consecutive season, as the last victory of Al-Wehda is due to Shabab Al-Ahly went to the 2009-2010 season, when they beat the same stadium 3-1.

The unit's leader, veteran Ismail Matar, succeeded in advancing his team first with a global goal in the manner of Argentine legend Diego Maradona, as he started from the middle of the field among four Al-Ahly youth players, and hit a ball with his left hand at the top of the right corner of Majid Nasser, who only looked at it while living He scored, and then the Uzbek, Aziz Ganev, equalized with a fixed kick that he executed from outside the box to the right of goalkeeper «73».

Ismail Matar achieved a record that was not preceded by any player in the Arab Gulf League, as he continued to score for the 20th season in a row with Al-Wehda club, raising his score to the 89th goal.

The first minutes did not terrorize the unit, especially since the preference in it was in the interest of Al-Ahly youth, who rushed to the attack to score an early goal, and had an opportunity to score from a fixed blow from outside the box that Eduardo executed, but slightly higher the crossbar "6".

This game was capable of a counter-reaction on the part of the unit, who rose up and tried to exchange the attacks of Al-Ahly youth with Khamis Ismail's shot, which he fired from the edge of the box and passed alongside the left post (20).

The 29th minute saw a missed opportunity for Al-Ahly youth to advance when the post responded with Abdulaziz Heikal's ball after he succeeded in hitting the Al-Wehda defense.

Before the two teams entered the locker room, Ismail Matar scored one of the most beautiful goals in the league so far, when he made his way through the defenses of Al-Ahly youth and hit his left at the top right corner of Majid Nasser goal.

The rhythm of the match increased more and more with the start of the second session, as Al-Ahly's youth rushed to the attack in order to equalize in the midst of fortified defenses from Al-Wehda, who began to rely on counter-attacks.

Al-Wehda’s defense shone when he fired Muhammad Jaber’s shot while the goal was clear of his goalkeeper, and turned into a corner kick (55).

Ismail Matar returned to shine when he played a long ball to Matavz, who extracted the ball before Majid Nasser and shot it to pass next to the post "60".

Matar missed a goal that was easier than the way he scored before when he was alone in the goal, and shot in the hands of the goalkeeper "62".

It was natural for Al-Ahly youth to return after all these opportunities that the unit had lost, and Aziz Ganev managed to equalize with a fixed kick that he executed from outside the box to the right of the goalkeeper.

Ganev almost scored another goal from a fixed kick that deceived goalkeeper Rashid Ali, and the post came to prevent a real chance for Shabab Al-Ahly to advance «80».

Rashid Ali's goal remained immune to another goal for Shabab Al-Ahly, as Ahmed Al-Attas hit a ball from inside the box, bounced off the goalkeeper and the crossbar, to miss a chance on the guest team "85".
