Al-Bataeh confirmed his advantage in direct confrontations against Al-Nasr, after returning with three winning points with a score of 2-0 in the match that brought together the two teams at Al Maktoum Stadium, the stronghold of “Al-Azraq”, in the seventh round of the ADNOC Professional League.
The “Al-Raqi” duo scored by Sekou Baba in the 39th minute and the Brazilian Paulo Henrique in the 50th minute, raising the team’s score to 11 points and rising to sixth place, equally with Al-Jazira, while “Al-Ameed” remained in eighth place “temporarily” with 7 points.
It was like a victory over Al-Bataeh’s second “Al-Ameed” in the “Professional League”, after the first, 2-0, in the second round of last season 2022-2023, compared to a draw in one match, 2-2, in the first round of last season.
Sekou Baba opened the scoring for Al-Bataeh in the 39th minute, translating Alvaro de Aliveira’s pass from the left side. He succeeded in dodging the defense and the goalkeeper and scoring in a smart way, which is the second goal in a row in the resident Mali’s record in the “Al-Raqi” attack after the first against Ajman 1-1.
The left post of Ibrahim Issa’s goal prevented Al-Bataeh goalkeeper Al-Nasr from achieving an equalizer before the end of the first half, after Portuguese Ayuri’s shot hit the bottom of the post in the 45th minute.
Al-Raqi’s advantage continued at the beginning of the second half after Brazilian Paulo Henrique succeeded in adding the second goal in the 50th minute, with a smart shot with his left hand from inside the penalty area, taking advantage of a pass from Mali Sekou Baba, who scored the first goal.
