Mabkhout pleased Al Jazeera with the 44th point ... and Hata plays and does not score

Today, the leaders of the Arabian Gulf League, Al-Jazira, struggled to get out winning points against their bottom-ranked host, Hatta, in the 20th round. Scorer Ali Mabkhout played the champion's role in securing the victory and enhancing Al-Jazira's lead with 44 points, while Hatta remained with his nine points.

Hatta embarrassed Al-Jazeera a lot, and almost forced him to draw, and the "hurricane" continued to enjoy the level, but without achieving the desired result, especially as he played a big match yesterday.

Al-Jazirah's only goal was scored by Ali Mabkhout, from a penalty that was awarded to the team in the 39th minute of the first half.

The two teams shared control of the match, as Hatta was not easy hunting, but almost scored the equalizer on more than one occasion, and he had more than one direct match in front of Al-Jazira goalkeeper Ali Khasif.

Al-Jazeera controlled almost completely in the first half, and it was the most enjoyable thanks to the understanding and the successive passes of his players, which reached Mabkhout on more than one occasion, including a shot in the post in the 36th minute of the first half, before scoring the goal from a penalty kick minutes later.

On the other hand, the Brazilian player Hatta Ramirez almost scored the equalizing goal in the 45th minute of the first half, after he snatched a ball inside the penalty area, and Ali Khasif was singled out, but he shot it weakly in the hands of goalkeeper Ali Khasif, to end the first half with Al Jazira advancing with a free goal.

Hatta showed a different face in the second half, and it was the most dangerous thanks to the changes of the Serbian coach Vladimir, who increased his offensive pressure on the Al-Jazira team.

Al-Hussein Saleh wasted a frank loner with the Al-Jazira goalkeeper, but he slowed down the ball, so Al-Jazira defense took it away, and Hatta player Abdullah Kazem hit a dangerous ball that passed over the post to keep "Abu Dhabi's pride" on his progress and consolidate the lead six rounds before the end of the competition.
