Al-Nasr escaped the ambush of losing to its guest, Ittihad Kalba, and turned a two-goal deficit into a 2-2 draw, in the 21st round of the ADNOC Professional League, yesterday. Al-Nasr suffered due to the absence of six of its players due to injury and illness, making “Blue” fifth with 35 points, while Kalba was in tenth place with 21 points.
Kalba cut the tape of the match’s goals early in the 10th minute by Mehdi Qaidi, and before the hosts could wake up from the shock of the goal, Andres Fomberger increased the “Tigers” lead with the second goal in the 13th minute. But Al-Nasr was later able to hold on and reduce the difference through Manolo Gabbiadini in the 45th + 1 minute.
In the second half, Al-Nasr appeared better, scoring the equalizer in the 62nd minute by Manolo Gabbiadini, so the match ended in a draw.
In another match, Baniyas regained the memory of victories, with a wide victory, 4-2, over its guest, Hatta, to reach the 22nd point, moving away from danger, while “The Hurricane” suffered its 16th defeat, making its position worsen after its points froze at only 6.
Baniyas opened the scoring in the 45th minute + 1, with a shot from Taulant Siviri, but “The Hurricane” quickly returned and scored the equalizer with a deceptive shot by Gabriel Sousa in the 45th + 3 minute.
With the start of the second period, Siviri returned and scored the second for him and his team with a header in the 51st minute, but the visitors brought the match back to the starting point again, by scoring an equalizer in the 54th minute through Chisum Charles. But Fawaz Awana restored the lead for Baniyas in the 65th minute, before his teammate Gaston Suarez added the fourth goal in the 69th minute.
