A positive 1-1 draw dominated the top of the 12th round of the ADNOC Professional Football League yesterday, which brought Al Ain together with its guest Al Wasl, in a match that rose to the level of expectations, as the two teams presented a hearty ball meal, and the enthusiasm was inherent in the performance of the two sides of the confrontation, but the two teams excelled in wasting the achieved opportunities. The match also witnessed an increase in the rate of rough interventions and the continuous protest against the decisions of referee Adel Al Naqbi, so that the two sides divided the tie point that did not satisfy their ambition, as they continued to bleed points in the league, and Al Ain had 19 points, and Al Wasl had 22 points.
On the other hand, the 13-year knot continued for Al Wasl at Al Ain Stadium, during which it did not achieve victory.
Al-Ain did not wait long to reveal his intentions, as he threw his weight offensively from the first minutes, which paid off in the 8th minute after an organized attack, with which the ball reached Moroccan Sofiane Rahimi, who sent a cross to his colleague Laba Kodjo, who did not hesitate to put it into the net.
The Brazilian Jontas' breakthroughs caused a great inconvenience to the right front of Al Wasl, who tried in various ways to stop him, but with the passage of time Al Ain players changed the strategy, relying more on the left front with continuous attempts to penetrate from the depth of the field.
And while Al-Zaeem seemed to be the dominant party, this left spaces in his defense, which Fabio Lima took advantage of and scored the equalizer after he penetrated into the penalty area, and sent a ball that settled to the right of goalkeeper Khaled Issa in the 33rd minute.
The second half began with the two teams abandoning excessive caution, which produced a number of opportunities, but the factor of haste and accuracy was the reason for the continuation of the positive tie, and as the minutes passed, Al Ain coach Rebrov threw his usual offensive weapons, similar to the Ukrainian Andriy Yarmolenko and Kayo Canedo, which activated the offensive side more in favor of The owners of the land, and on the other hand, Al Wasl missed a number of opportunities in the last moments, including a wonderful shot by Lima, which was successfully blocked by Al Ain goalkeeper Khaled Issa, so that the two sides shared the points.
