Our first football team tied with Al-Bidaa Club with a goal for each, in a match held this evening at Saud bin Abdulrahman Stadium at Al-Wakra Club, as part of the fifth week of the Second Division Cup competitions. With this tie, our team reached the seventh point in the group in second place behind Al-Bidaa Club, and Anicet Ora scored our team’s only goal, as our team is scheduled to face Mesaimeer Club in the sixth and final round on the twenty-eighth of this month at Thani bin Jassim Stadium at Al-Gharafa Club.
The match started with a relative advantage for Al-Bidaa, who tried from the beginning to attack our team’s goal, but without a real threat to Majed Abdul Latif’s goal.
Our team is trying to enter the match strongly and impose its advantage and exit with the ball and build attacks from behind, but it finds it difficult to penetrate Al-Bidaa’s defenses, due to the intensity of pressure that Al-Bidaa players are putting on our team’s players.
As the minutes of the first half passed, a great struggle continued in the middle of the field between the players, and a completely closed match, and clear attempts by both teams to score the lead goal, but without a clear danger to either goalkeeper.
The first half ended in a goalless draw between the two teams, in a half that was at an average level of performance and completely closed.
The second half began with cautious calm, with a pulse test between the two teams, without any offensive attempt that can be mentioned by either goalkeeper, as our team made the first substitution with the exit of Amjad Salah and the entry of Talal Munir, to activate the offensive side that was absent in the first half, with attempts by our team players to keep the ball for the longest possible period and surprise Al-Bidda players, but there was a clear difficulty in penetrating Al-Bidda’s defenses.
Al-Bidda succeeded in translating its advantage in the match and scoring the first goal in the 55th minute through its striker Christian Dal Bello, who played with our team’s defenses and shot a powerful ball from inside the box that settled in Majed Abdul Latif’s net, so the result became a goal for Al-Bidda and nothing for our team.
At the 62nd minute, our team made three substitutions at once, with Youssef Sabry Al-Yahri leaving and Saad Al-Sawwan entering, Munqidh Muhammad Jihad Adi leaving and Abdul Aziz Adel entering, and Muhammad Rabie Saqr leaving and Muhammad Saad Al-Badr entering, to revive the team and activate the front line.
Intense and continuous attempts by our team to score the equalizer, but without real chances on Ahmed Rashwan’s goal.
Our team threatened Al-Bidaa’s goal with the first chance at the 67th minute from a shot by Mariano Vasquez from inside the box that passed next to the post of Al-Bidaa’s goal.
Our team succeeded in translating its advantage by scoring the equalizer through Anicet Ora at the 76th minute, with a powerful shot from inside the box that found its way into Ahmed Rashwan Al-Bidaa’s net, after he took advantage of the golden pass from Abdul Aziz Adel who penetrated the box with a wonderful individual effort, and the result became a goal for each team.
Continuous pressure from our team on Al-Bidaa’s goal in search of strengthening the result with a second goal, as our team relies in its attacks through the flanks through Anicet Ora, Talal Munir and Abdul Aziz, as well as from the depth through Mariano Vasquez and Nassim Ben Issa.
