Habbouch Saleh ... celebrates his first goal with Al Wasl in two seasons

Al-Wasl qualified for the semi-finals of the Arabian Gulf Cup for the sixth time in its history yesterday, after defeating Sharjah with two goals without a response, in the second leg of the quarter-finals at Al Wasl Stadium in Zabeel, to rise to face Shabab Al-Ahly in the Golden Square.

Haboush Saleh's first goal two years ago gave Al Wasl a dose of optimism when he meets Al-Ahly youth, especially as this match will be a replay of the scenario of confronting the two teams in the semi-finals of the 2017-2018 season, as the "Emperor" outperformed by three goals against two, and the irony is that Mahdi Ali was also a coach for Dubai Knights.

On the other hand, Habboush Saleh scored his first goal since joining Al Wasl two seasons ago, after he participated in the last season with "Al Fahd" in six matches in the Arabian Gulf Cup and 19 games in the league. He also participated in the current season in five matches in the league and four games in Arabian Gulf Cup.

His goal against Sharjah is his first goal since February 4, 2019, when he scored his last goal with Baniyas against Fujairah in the 14th round of the Arab Gulf League, and it is his first goal in the Arabian Gulf Cup competition, since he scored a goal in favor Baniyas is against Al Ain in the quarter-finals on December 28, 2018.
