Moataz Al-Shami (Dubai)
Our national team tied with its Bahraini brother, 1-1, in the confrontation that brought them together this evening at Zabeel Stadium, at the conclusion of the group stage for the eighth group of the second stage of the joint Asian qualifiers, which qualifies for the 2026 World Cup and the 2027 Asian Cup, raising the white score to 16 points in the lead, While Bahraini Red’s tally reached 11 points, ensuring qualification with our team to the third stage of the World Cup qualifying campaign.
Mahdi Abdul-Jabbar opened the scoring for the Bahrain national team in the 4th minute, before Sultan Adel Najm adjusted the attack for our national team in the 10th minute.
The Bahraini team took the initiative to attack the “Al-Abyad” goal, and in the fourth minute, Mahdi Abdul-Jabbar was able to advance for his country, taking advantage of a defensive error by our team, to penetrate into the area and shoot at the right corner of our team’s goalkeeper, Khaled Issa.
Then the response came quickly from our national team with a goal with wonderful individual skill, by Sultan Adel after he was completely alone with the Bahrain national team’s goal, making the score 1-1 between the two sides.
In the 29th minute, Yahya Al-Ghassani wasted the opportunity to score the second goal for our national team against Bahrain, after he was also alone in the goal and shot, but it went over the crossbar. Our national team continued to threaten Bahrain’s goal with a number of dangerous balls to snatch the victory, but the referee’s whistle ended the match in a 1-1 draw between… Both parties are eliminated with a point from the match.
