The summit of Week 21 in the ADNOC Pro League concluded with a positive draw between Al Wasl and Al Jazira, with a 2-2 scoreline in the match held at Zabeel Stadium.
The Emperor started with an intense attack in an attempt to score an early goal, but in the 12th minute, Al Jazira surprised Al Wasl with a goal from a swift shot by the striker Ali Mabkhout. Afterward, Al Wasl launched a series of attacks, notably through Nicolas Gimenez, who had more than one chance but lacked the luck to score any goals.
Before the end of the 1st half, a brilliant run by Ali Saleh, dribbling past several players, earned a penalty kick, which Fabio De Lima converted, equalizing the score. At the beginning of the 2nd half, Al Wasl took control of the midfield, and Serbian coach Milos made adjustments on the field. In the 63rd minute, substitute Adama Diallo scored the leading goal with a precise header following a cross by Fabio De Lima.
Al Wasl slightly retreated in an attempt to maintain the result, but then regained control of the match. Ali Saleh came close to sealing the match with a 3rd goal after being left alone with the goalkeeper but failed to finish the ball optimally. In contrast to the flow of play, Bruno De Olivira equalized for Al Jazira in the 79th minute, ending the match in a positive draw.
