Al Nasr continued its strong performances for the second round in a row, defeating Bani Yas 4-1 in the match that brought the two teams together at Al Maktoum Stadium, in the second round of the ADNOC Professional League. Al Nasr’s goals were scored by Adel Taarabt in the 14th minute, Othman Boussaid in the 53rd, Ali Mabkhout in the 65th, and Abdullah Toure in the 75th, while Youssef Niakte scored Bani Yas’ goal in the 16th minute. This is the first time that Al Nasr has achieved victory in the first two rounds of the Professional League season for the first time since the 2015-2016 season.
With this result, Al-Nasr, who outperformed Al-Arabiya 5-1 in the first round, raised its score to 6 points at the top with a full score, while Bani Yas remained with three points from its victory in its first match against its guest Al-Jazira 2-0.
Al Nasr scored their first goal in the 14th minute, taking advantage of a mistake by Bani Yas goalkeeper Fahad Al Dhanhani in passing, so Al Nasr players recovered the ball that reached Ali Mabkhout inside the penalty area, who prepared it perfectly for his teammate Taarabt who deposited it in the net, and contributed to scoring 6 of the last 8 goals in the league by scoring 4 goals and creating two others.
Bani Yas responded quickly after striker Youssef Nyakte took advantage of Markovic’s magical pass behind the defence, successfully depositing it into the goal as goalkeeper Abdul Tamimi came out and scored the equaliser in the 16th minute. It was Nyakte’s third goal out of his team’s last 4 goals against Al Nassr.
Al-Nassr succeeded in adding the second goal through Othman Boussaid with a perfect header in the 53rd minute, translating the perfect cross from Marwan Azarkane from the right side. Boussaid became the second Belgian player to succeed in scoring in the “Professional League” after his compatriot Yassin Al-Ghanassi with Al-Ain in 2014.
Al-Nasr strengthened its lead with the third goal through the historic Ali Mabkhout in the 65th minute. The goal was Mabkhout’s first with Al-Nasr in the league and the 20th against Bani Yas, the team that has received the most goals from Mabkhout.
Al-Nasr confirmed its superiority after the substitute Abdullah Toure added the fourth goal in the 75th minute, translating a pass from the other substitute Rashid Musabah.
Al-Nassr goalkeeper Abdullah Al-Tamimi saved a penalty kick taken by Youssef Niakte in the 87th minute, and maintained his team’s advantage in the score until the end of the match with Al-Nassr winning 4-1.
