Mustafa Al Deeb (Abu Dhabi)
Al Wahda reached the semi-finals of the President’s Football Cup, by defeating Al Jazira 2-1, to be the second qualifier, after Al Wasl, who beat Al Ain with the same score.
The “Honest People” are waiting for the winner of the meeting between Baniyas and the Kalba Union scheduled for tomorrow “Sunday”, while the “Emperor” will face the qualifiers from the Al-Ahly and Sharjah youth meet, which will also be held “Sunday”, at the conclusion of the quarter-finals of the tournament.
“Al Annabi” succeeded in converting a goal behind against “Pride of Abu Dhabi” to win with two goals, after an exciting match, which witnessed Omar Kharbin’s wasting a penalty kick in favor of “the owners of happiness” in the 54th minute.
Al-Jazira advanced with a goal scored by Victor Sa in the 32nd minute, while Al-Wahda turned the scales through Kharbin, who scored the equalizer in the 85th minute, and Adrian Dasilva added the winning goal and qualified for the “gold square” in the 88th minute.
Al-Wehda dominated the match to a better degree than Al-Jazira, who resorted to counter-attacks, and made it clear to its players that they were affected by physical fatigue due to the pressure of the matches.
