The Al-Ahly youth team overturned its delay from 0-2 to a 3-2 victory, making an exciting “Remontada” at the expense of its host, Al-Jazira, yesterday, at Mohammed Bin Zayed Stadium in the 19th round of the ADNOC Professional Football League, to regain the top of the standings again after raising its score to 42, while Al Jazeera’s points froze at 33.
The hosts of the land were the ones who cut the bar for the goals of the match after they controlled the course of the match, in the 17th minute, by Ali Mabkhout from a penalty kick that was awarded by the referee of the match after the same player was obstructed and he successfully fired it to put his team in the lead.
The goal gave the hosts an opportunity to increase control of the match amid a clear decline in the players of Shabab Al-Ahly, which enabled Al-Jazira to score the second goal in the 31st minute by its player, Mamadou Coulibaly, with a powerful shot from outside the penalty area, which the guests’ goalkeeper failed to stop.
The pace of excitement increased at the beginning of the second half, in which Shabab Al-Ahly scored the goal of reducing the difference in the 47th minute by his Syrian player, Omar Khribin, who followed the corner ball and put it into the net with ease.
The excitement of the match continued, with Shabab Al-Ahly scoring the equalizing goal in the 71st minute, after a tactical sentence, with which the ball reached substitute Yahya Al-Ghassani, who in turn placed it easily above goalkeeper Ali Khasif.
The guests took advantage of the shock caused by the equalizing goal against their opponents, to continue their possession of the match, before they succeeded in scoring the winning goal in the 84th minute by Frederico Cartabia from the penalty spot.
