Al Dhafra overpay for "points of hope" in front of Al-Bataeh

A positive 1/1 draw overshadowed Al Bataeh's match with Al Dhafra today in the opening round of the 19th round of the ADNOC Professional Football League. The draw is very disappointing for Al Dhafra, who desperately wanted points of hope, and a very important victory, as the draw does not serve his interests as the second team threatened with relegation after Dibba. Al Dhafra have eight points in the penultimate place, and 17 points for Al-Bataeh.

The guests progressed, through the Brazilian Leonso, taking advantage of Khaled Al Darmaki's cross, without being an observer to score easy to the right of the goalkeeper"43". Immediately afterwards, Al Bataeh defender Fahad Sabeel received a red card immediately after a strong tackle with Rashid Muhair, to hurt the hosts to play the entire second half with 10 men. Al-Bataeh was able to equalize through his Malian player, Sekou Gassama, from a header after a perfect cross from Joao Pedro, pounces on it before the Al Dhafra goalkeeper and puts it into the net "72". The match was exciting and exciting from both teams, and although Al-Bataeh seemed to have a greater desire to win, his strikers, Lawrense and Abang, missed several chances that would have given him the lead.

On the other hand, Al Dhafra kept in its half while relying on counter-attacks, which were often dangerous, but what is credited to Al Dhafra and his coach, Moroccan Badr Al-Idrissi, is the extreme exaggeration in the defensive aspect despite the defensive lack of the Al-Bataeh team, which deprived it of the three points.
