The Bahraini national team sealed the lead in the second group in the 26th Arabian Gulf Football Cup, currently being held in Kuwait, with a “red wax” before competing in the third round against its Yemeni counterpart next Saturday.
“Bahraini Red” raised its score to six points after achieving its second victory in the tournament, which came at the expense of “defending champion” Iraq by two clean goals. Before that, it had achieved a surprise victory over Saudi Arabia in the first round 3-2.
In the semi-finals, the Bahraini team will meet the team that qualifies from the first group through the second place gate, a group that in turn has not revealed all its secrets.
After the Bahraini Reds won the first card, the second card was confined between Saudi Arabia, which is in second place with three points, and Iraq, which is third with three points as well. Saudi Arabia and Iraq will meet on Saturday in a decisive match to determine the identity of the team that will accompany Bahrain to the semi-finals, knowing that a draw favors Saudi Arabia.
The “Saudi Greens” will enter Saturday’s confrontation with two chances of winning or drawing at the very least, given the goal difference that favors them, unlike the “Lions of Mesopotamia” team, which has no choice but victory.
