Al Jazira international striker Ali Mabkhout scored a goal with the heel and scored another to give his team a precious 2-1 victory over Al Ain yesterday at Mohammed bin Zayed Stadium in the third round of the ADNOC Professional Football League. His score shared the lead with Sharjah, while the "leader" points, the defending champion, were stuck at four points.
Ali Mabkhout became the most scored against Al Ain goalkeeper, Khaled Issa throughout history, after reaching the 13th goal, and he also enhanced his historical balance in the competition by reaching the 187th goal.
The owners of the land took advantage of their advantage and cut the bar for the goals of the meeting in the 19th minute by international midfielder Abdullah Ramadan, after a back pass from his colleague Ali Mabkhout, who received it and advanced a little before hitting a powerful left ball that dwelt in the net of goalkeeper Khaled Issa.
The early goal gave the "Pride of Abu Dhabi" a chance for the match to go ahead, but the guests were able to share the performance and return to the atmosphere of the meeting by scoring the equalizing goal in the 39th minute with Togolese international striker Laba Kodjo header from the corner ball sent by Ukrainian Andriy Yarmolenko.
The second half started with a clear advantage for the Al Jazira team and quickly took advantage of it to the fullest and scored the goal of the international Ali Mabkhout in the 52nd minute, taking advantage of a common mistake by the Al Ain defense, after which the team imposed more control over the course of the meeting thanks to the correct positioning of its players and the short passes that they exchanged.
