Al Bataeh suffered their second consecutive defeat against Al Wasl, with a clean goal, in the match held at Khalid bin Mohammed Stadium. Al Bataeh entered the match with the desire to win and make up for their loss in the previous match. Al Wasl’s goal came in the 30th minute of the first half, after which Al Bataeh dominated the match and the team’s coach, Farhad Majidi, made several changes that almost resulted in a draw, but the referee had a different opinion, as he called on the VAR to watch a very clear incident following Keita’s obstruction in the penalty area. However, the referee preferred not to count it, amidst the audience’s astonishment. Seconds later, a clear handball by the Al Wasl defender occurred, which the referee did not count and was not called to watch the incident. After the match, the team’s coach, Farhad Majidi, said in the press conference that many things were happening without him finding explanations for them. He said: “I am very sad, not because of the loss, as we wasted many opportunities, but the reason for my sadness is the infringement of the players’ rights and efforts, especially in the second half. In short, there are difficult things that kept happening for the team, and whoever wants to understand them can understand them, and whoever does not want to understand them does not want to understand them. These are the rights of players who have given their all.” They did their best and everyone played with all their strength and effort for the team.
