Al Bataeh achieved an important victory over its guest, Khorfakkan, 2-1, at Khalid bin Mohammed Stadium, on Sunday, in the second round of the ADNOC Professional League. This is considered the first victory for Al Bataeh this season after losing to Al Ain in the first round. Khorfakkan also suffered its first defeat after winning over Al Jazira 3-2. Khorfakkan took the lead through Ailton Felipe with a pass from his teammate Saeed Mohammed in the 42nd minute, but the final minutes of the first half witnessed Al Bataeh’s equalizer for Al Bataeh 1-1 through Ulrich Sedwin after a corner kick from Uzbek Aziz Ganiev. Al Bataeh succeeded in scoring the winning goal through Gianluca Muniz, taking advantage of a pass from the brilliant Aziz (62). Al Bataeh completed the match from the 76th minute with 10 players after Sedwin Maliki was injured. Farhad Majidi had used up his 5 substitutions. Majidi said that this was not due to mismanagement by the technical staff, but I left a change for such cases and was surprised by Abdulaziz Heikal’s request for the change.
