Al Wasl’s match against host Kalba ended in a 2-2 draw, as part of the twelfth round of the ADNOC Pro League.

Al Wasl started the match with the following lineup: Khaled Al Senani in goal, with a back four of Pedro Malheiro, Soufiane Bouftini, Adryelson Silva, and Hugo Neto. In midfield, Renato Tapia, Fabio Lima, Siaka Sidibe, Nicolas Gimenez, and Serginho featured, while Ali Saleh led the attack.

Al Wasl entered the first half strongly, as the players pushed forward early toward Kalba’s goal and imposed their control on the course of play. In the sixth minute, Gimenez threatened Kalba’s goal with a precise long ball that reached Ali Saleh, but Kalba goalkeeper Sultan Al Mentheri caught it.

Al Wasl continued its attacking pressure, and in the twenty-third minute Nicolas Gimenez played a ball into the penalty area to Fabio Lima, who failed to follow it up successfully.

On the other hand, Kalba relied on defensive organization to deal with Al Wasl’s attacks. In the thirty-sixth minute, Fabio Lima played a well-weighted pass to Ali Saleh, who found himself facing the goal, but Kalba’s defense cleared the ball, and the first half ended without any change in the score.

In the second half, Serginho put Al Wasl ahead in the fiftieth minute after a fine pass from Gimenez, which he finished with his left foot into Kalba’s net, before Shahriyar Moghanloo equalized for Kalba in the sixty-fourth minute.

Al Wasl continued to search for a goal to regain the lead, and head coach Massoud Miral made substitutions, with Fabio Lima and Renato Tapia leaving the pitch to be replaced by Matheus Saldanha and Brahian Palacios.

Al Wasl’s pressure resulted in the second goal through Ali Saleh in the seventy-fifth minute, but Kalba equalized again through Shahriyar Moghanloo in the eighty-second minute.

The match continued without any change in the score during the final minutes, and the game ended in a positive draw between the two sides, with Al Wasl raising its tally to 22 points and sitting temporarily in third place in the league standings.
