Serbian Milos Kivanovic saved the Al-Jazira team from being defeated by its guest, Shabab Al-Ahly, after they equalized in calculated time instead of lost 1-1, yesterday, at the top of the 19th round of the Arab Gulf Football League.

Al-Jazira raised its score to 41 points and maintained the lead, while Shabab Al-Ahly rose to point 33.

At a time when Shabab Al-Ahly almost declared themselves a strong contender for the title, when Brazilian Carlos Eduardo scored from a "tiki-taka" goal, Kivanovic responded with a direct hit that he executed in a global manner.

The match came in a different direction, its second half is better and more exciting than the first half, in which the anticipated excitement was absent, even though the ball seemed to be in the possession of the landowners most of the time, but his players suffered greatly to reach goalkeeper Majid Nasser thanks to the good defensive organization of Shabab Al-Ahly, and the success of coach Mahdi Ali in putting the sources of the island's danger under control.

Shabab Al-Ahly managed to restore balance to the stadium after 25 minutes, as it appeared more serious about the threat of Abdul Rahman Al-Amiri's goal, through Jesus, who penetrated the center of the island's defenses and fired towards the goal, to be saved by Milos Kosanovic (27).

The Al-Ahly youth missed the closest opportunity to score, when Abdulaziz Heikal distributed a model ball to Eduardo, without being a watcher, but he hit a weak ball in the arms of the goalkeeper (35).

Al-Jazeera sensed the embarrassment of his position after those minutes, so his attacking attempts continued with speed, and he nearly reached at the end of the first half for what he wanted, but Zayed Al-Amiri's header, which turned him from Salem Rashid's cross, slightly higher the crossbar (41).

The Al-Ahly youth were greedy for the result, so they entered the second half with a clear advantage and forced Al-Jazeera to retreat most of the time, and tried several times to break through through the left side that Masharibov made, who made many attempts that were not used optimally.

Al-Ahly youth succeeded in enhancing their advantage at those times, with the goal of "Tiki Taka", after several passes inside the box that ended with Eduardo, from Chios, who played it perfectly on the right of the goalkeeper.

The island did not show any real intention to equalize, and his attempts were timid and through shots from outside the box, most of which went astray.

However, Al-Jazeera tightened his pressure in the last five minutes seeking to score the equalizing goal, and obtained a fixed kick from close to the goal that Kivanovic successfully executed to the left of the goalkeeper, taking advantage of the poor positioning of the human wall.
