Al Nasr escaped Dibba Al Hisn’s ambush and won with difficulty by three goals to two in the match that brought them together this evening at Al Maktoum Stadium, as part of the 9th round of the ADNOC Professional League. With this result, the Brigadier raised his score to 16 points in fifth place, while Dibba Al Hisn maintained 12th place with 5 points. Al-Nasr took an early lead through Adel Taarabt in the 7th minute, then added a second goal from a penalty kick by Ali Mabkhout in the 10th minute. Al-Ameed continued their good performances and translated their advantage into a third goal in the 27th minute through Dutchman Leroy Fer, but Dibba Al-Hisn did not throw in the towel and put pressure on Al-Nasr’s defense until they were able to reduce the difference through Haitham Al-Juwaini in the 41st minute.
Al-Nasr played cautiously in defense at the beginning of the second half, while Dibba Al-Hisn went all out on the attack led by Al-Juwaini and succeeded once again in reducing the difference through Midana Bigna in the 57th minute, which raised the performance of Dibba Al-Hisn, who intensified their attacks in search of a draw, while Al-Nasr’s performance declined, especially after Taarabt left. The final minutes witnessed Dibba Al-Hisn dominating and scoring a goal that was disallowed by the referee due to offside.
