AlBataeh drew against Bani Yas, 3-3, during the match that took place between them at AlShamkha Stadium, for the 23rd round of the ADNOC Pro League, to raise Al-Bataeh’s score to 27 points in ninth place.

AlBataeh excelled in the first half and succeeded in scoring two goals through Cameroonian Anatoly, who opened the goals from a quick counter-attack, and Brazilian Paulinho from a penalty kick awarded by the referee after obstruction from Suhail AlNoobi to Malian Sekou Baba.

Bani Yas rose up in the second half, taking advantage of the decline in the level of AlBataeh, which seemed lax on his players, as Taulant Severi was able to reduce the difference after turning Suarez’s corner with his head in the Al-Bataeh goal.

Youssef Nyakati equalized for the hosts after taking advantage of a defensive error to single out the goal and shoot to the right of the goalkeeper.

Injury time witnessed great excitement when Nyakati succeeded in snatching the third goal for BaniYas in the 93rd minute, and at a time when everyone thought that “AlSamawi” was on his way to snatch the match points, the substitute Mohammed Rashid returned AlBataeh in the result and scored the third equalizer in the 95th minute.

Croatian Goran Tomic, coach of the first football team at Al Bataeh Club, described their match against Bani Yas as difficult, and said that they are meeting a stubborn team, a few days after their last match against Ajman, promising to do their best and give everything they have in order to achieve a positive result.

Goran continued his speech during the introductory press conference, saying: Bani Yas is a stubborn team and the match in front of it will not be easy and we watched their last match against Sharjah and what they presented and I think that the confrontation will be very difficult, and Goran said that they created many chances during the previous matches but could not translate them into goals, stressing his confidence at the same time in the players and their ability to score during the upcoming matches.

For his part, Ahmed AlZeyoudi, left back of AlBataeh, said that their rival in the next match is strong and fierce and presented good levels during the last period, stressing at the same time diligence and perseverance in order to return with three points, and added during the introductory press conference: We seek to compensate in the next match after losing to Al Wasl Ajman in order to improve our ranking in the championship table.

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.

Croatian coach Goran Tomić, the head of AlBataeh football team, stressed the difficulty of the match against AlWasl, highlighting their opponent’s status as league leaders and their exceptional season performance at all levels. He explained their high-skilled players would make the task challenging.

Tomić added during the pre match press conference:

“Our team has also been performing remarkably well this season and has shown the capability to face strong teams. We are determined to return with all three points from this match. We have several absences due to accumulated yellow cards and the suspension of Farouq in the Sharjah match, but I am confident in the readiness of all other players for this game.”

He continued:

“We’ve faced teams of similar strength to AlWasl this season, like Shabab AlAhli and AlJazira, and the team has delivered outstanding performances in these matches. However, to surpass these clubs, luck must accompany readiness from all aspects.”

On his part, goalkeeper Darwish Mohammed described the match against Al Wasl as crucial, considering it’s played on their home turf and amidst their fans, besides facing the league leaders. He affirmed their commitment to giving their best for a positive outcome.

During the pre-match press conference, he continued:

“Nothing is impossible in football, and anything can happen on the field. We will do our best and give everything we have to achieve a positive result.”

He continued:

“I would like to take this opportunity to praise my teammate Rashid for his excellent performance in the previous match against Sharjah. It’s not surprising as he is an outstanding goalkeeper, and I hope he gets more opportunities to participate in upcoming matches.”

Croatian coach Goran Tomić, the head coach of AlBataeh football team, acknowledged the difficulty of their upcoming match against Sharjah, describing Sharjah as a fierce and strong team. He affirmed that their preparations for the match are at an advanced stage and that his team is ready to give their best and achieve a positive result.

He continued during the introductory press conference:

During the press conference, Tomić continued, “Sharjah has great potential in terms of players and coaching staff, but nevertheless, we will try to give our best and achieve a positive result.”

Tomić stated that each match has its own circumstances, emphasizing that they approach every game as a unique challenge. He stressed the importance of seizing every opportunity to achieve a positive result, urging the players to be fully prepared for the match to accomplish their goals and aspirations.

On the other hand, AlBataeh defender Abdullah AlRafaei lamented the loss they suffered against AlNasr in the previous match, stating that they played well but ended up losing in the end. During the pre-match press conference, he said, “We pledged to work hard in training this week to appear in a dignified manner during the Sharjah match,” revealing their high aspirations for the game and emphasizing the importance of achieving a positive result.

AlRafaei described Sharjah as a great and prestigious team, asserting that what happened in the first-round match will not be repeated in the upcoming match. He explained that they benefited from the scenario that occurred and learned from the mistakes they made, promising not to repeat them in the future.

Al-Rifai described Sharjah as a great and ancient team, stressing that what happened against them in the first round match will not be repeated in the next match, explaining that they benefited from the scenario that happened and learned from those mistakes that they made, promising not to repeat them in the future.

Croatian coach Goran Tomic said that they are facing Al Nasr, which is considered one of the most prepared clubs in ADNOC Pro League, and added during the press conference for the match:

I sincerely congratulate Al Nasr on this escalating performance in the recent period, and this is what will make the match difficult for us, and he continued: “We are also living a good period, especially after the last two wins against Kalba and Al Jazira, as well as playing at home gives us great motivation to achieve a positive result.”

Goran revealed his feeling playing against his former team for the first time since leaving it, and added: “I have beautiful memories with Al Nasr Club, which is the first club I work in the UAE, but now I am the coach of Al Bataeh and I will work to achieve a positive result for my team.”

For his part, midfielder Ismail Al Zaabi described the match against Al Nasr as difficult, considering that they are playing against a good team whose level has developed a lot in the recent period, and added during the introductory press conference:

Our superiority over Al-Nasr in previous matches is not a complex, but a passion that makes us strive to win in any match we play.

Regarding his non-selection in the list of our last Olympic national team, Al-Zaabi said:

I respect the coach’s decisions and vision, and I am confident that the selected players will appear in an honorable manner for UAE football, and I wish them success with all my heart, and I will work on developing myself and diligence in the training and matches of my team in order to return again to the national team squad.

Croatian Goran Tomic, coach of the first football team at Al Bataeh Club, admitted the difficulty of his next match against Ajman team, and said during the Pre match press conference for the match that his team will face a stubborn opponent, and added:

We analyzed the Ajman team accurately, and it became clear to us that they are a team whose players are highly skilled in all lines, but they did not start the season in a good way, and now their shape differed and developed quickly and their results improved in the recent period.

Tomic stressed that his team is living a great period at the moment, especially after the last two victories against Kalba and Al Jazira, and said that they aspire to continue on the right path and achieve positive results.

Goran hoped that his players would maintain this positive spirit and deal with a winning mentality during the upcoming matches so that they can reach a good position commensurate with the great effort exerted in the team.

For his part, AbdulAziz Hikal agreed with his coach Goran about the difficulty of the match against Ajman, and confirmed during the Pre match press conference that Ajman is an organized team that did not succeed in some matches.

Hikal promised to enter the match in order to achieve a positive result in order to continue their recent winning streak, and stressed that they do not stop at this point and aim to reach as far as possible in the tournament, revealing that their team does not lack anything in the presence of a good coach and players with great technical capabilities.
