AlBataeh suffered a big loss against its guest Al Wasl, amounting to four goals to one, during the match that brought them together, Monday, at Khalid bin Mohammed Stadium in Sharjah, for the 22nd round of the ADNOC Pro League, and with this result, AlBataeh’s balance froze at 26 points, in eighth place.

Al Wasl scored its first goal, after Jimenez played a cross, Caio Canedo met it with his head in the goal (13), and Ali Saleh added the second goal from a follow-up to a rebound inside the penalty area (20), before Fabio Lima strengthened the result by scoring the third goal from a wonderful heel pass played by Caio 34”.

AlBataeh reduced the difference with Mohammed Rashid scoring the first goal 41”, and in the second half Jimenez scored the fourth goal with a powerful shot 71”.

It seems that AlBataeh was affected by the shortage, as the team missed the services of defender Denny Borges due to the accumulation of cards, while Alfaro was absent due to his expulsion with a red card in the Sharjah match, and Croatian Goran pushed Abdullah Al-Rifai in defense while Sekou Baba played from the beginning this time.

Croatian Goran Tomic congratulated Al Bataeh coach on the victory, and said during the evaluation press conference after the match:

I knew that the match would not be easy for us, and we trained on set-pieces as one of the strengths of Al Wasl, but from the first two corners we conceded two goals, after that the game escaped from our hands and the return became difficult for us, and we could have reduced the difference after scoring a goal, but Al Wasl was able to double the score and decide the match in his favor.
