Al Wahda continued its winning streak, and managed to defeat its guest Dibba by three goals without a response, in the match that brought them together at Al Nahyan Stadium in the ninth stage of the ADNOC Professional League.

The "Honest People" owe these victories to the brilliance of the team's top scorer, the Brazilian Pedro, who scored two goals "35 and 66", as well as captain Ismail Matar, who concluded the hat-trick in the "87" minute.

Al Annabi seemed to meet with a clear offensive tendency and missed more than one chance to score, but the match turned against him at the 13th minute, when his defender Faris Jumaa was exposed to a red card directly for obstructing Dibba Alfaro striker, while he was on his way to the goal.

The advantage shifted to the visiting team, and Alvaro missed a real chance to score after a ball fell from goalkeeper Rashid Issa, who shot it in the direction of the goal and Pimenta removed it from the goal line.

Pedro attended an important time in the life of the match and managed to put Al-Wahda in the foreground, taking advantage of Pimenta's header and turning it into the goal.


Things did not change much in the second session, in which Dibba tried to equalize, but Pedro attended “as usual” at the right time and was able, with a great individual effort, to enhance his team’s progress by adding the second goal from a counterattack during which he evaded two Dibba players and shot in a perfect way on the The guard's left.

The cuff returned to parity in the last 10 minutes, after the referee, Ahmed Salem, declared the red card to Dibba, Khaled Abdullah, for obstructing Pedro on his way to the goal, so Matar managed to finish the match by adding the third goal from a tight shot from outside the box.
