Baniyas won the first quarter-final cards of the most expensive championship, the President’s Cup, by winning 3-0 against its host, the Emirates, in the match that brought the two teams together, at the latter’s stadium, in the start of the round of 16, and scored the goals of “Heavenly”, Ahmed Abu Namous. “Double” in the 46th and 57th minutes, and the “substitute” Muhammad Al-Hammadi in the 87th minute.
Al-Samawi is waiting in the quarter-finals of the Kalba Federation and Al-Arabi, who meet next Wednesday, at the end of the round of sixteen.
Real opportunities were absent during the first half, despite the relative offensive advantage of Baniyas, which did not rise to a real threat to goalkeeper Ali Saqr.
“Al-Samawi” waited for the start of the second half, to succeed in opening the scoring from a perfect header of striker Ahmed Abu Namous, who took advantage of a cross from Suarez on the left side, turning it with his head to enter the “Falcons” net, after it deceived the goalkeeper, after hitting the ground in the 46th minute.
And the “brilliant” Abu Namous returned to add the second goal quickly, in the 57th minute, after a wonderful individual effort, to evade the defense of the “falcons”, and hit the right foot to the left of Saqr.
Muhammad Al-Hammadi scored the third goal in the 88th minute, 5 minutes after his participation as a substitute for the “dualist” Ahmed Abu Namous.
