Game has started. 0-0 minute 5.

 

[mashdi]

Akbarpoor header from close range right into the keeper.he should have done better , it was almost a free header.

 

[mashdi]

I'd like to see the replay of that shot by Majidi that was blocked by Al-Shabab player inside the box.looked like a handball to me and a penalty.

 

[mashdi]

Javad's powerful shot right into defender's sonbol.he's down and Javad's rebound shot right into the keeper.

 

[mashdi]

dangerous cross for Al-Shabab's Edgar but he mis-hit the ball inside the box.

EsEs looks more like the dominant side at the moment, despite playing away

 

[Bi-honar]

Two consecutives corner for EsEs

 

[Bi-honar]

Some good sustained pressure in the last 5 minutes from EsEs

Good crosses and corner kicks from Esteghlal!

 

[Bi-honar]

Shabab scores at the last few seconds of the 1st half!

 

[Bi-honar]

Defensive error from EsEs in midfield Luiz Henrique picks the ball, literally walks through to the 25 yard mark completely unchecked and scores with a low shot to the left of Rahmati.

I only caught the last 15 minutes of the half, but EsEs definitely looked like the better team and this was against the run of play.

Half time: Al Shabab Al Arabi 1 - EsEs 0

 

[mashdi]

I think Hamoodi gave up the ball on that Luiz goal. a gift in the last seconds of the half.

 

[Bi-honar]

Al Shabab is currently 6th in the UAE Pro League with 2 games to go.

 

[Bi-honar]

I think Hamoodi gave up the ball on that Luiz goal. a gift in the last seconds of the half.

Nekou was the one who was chasing him in the replays, but I don't know if he was the one who gave the ball away in midfield.
