The "EMPEROR" defats the BOSS and qualifies to the semi final with a killer goal
The Emperor scored a fatal victory in El Clasico match against Al Ain, 2-1 in the match held at Zabeel Stadium, in the quarter-finals of the President's Cup.
Al Wasl started the game conservatively and closed the spaces in the middle of the field to al Ain players, but was unable to create any real chance over the course of 30 minutes, in return the guests captured most of the first half but without danger on the goal of the emperor.
Al Wasl had difficulties penetrating al-Ain's defences, so he came to the longitudinal balls in the back of al Ain defenders, to exploit the speeds of Ali Saleh the "Golden Boy" and the skills of Fabio de Lima.
The emperor's performance improved slightly and intensified his attacks in the last minutes, before the referee of the match counted a penalty, for touching the ball by Youssef Al Muhairi hand, scored by Laba, in the 45th minute to end the first half with al Ain advancing with a goal for nothing.
The Emperor entered the second half more ferociously and pressed strongly on the defenders of Al Ain, to succeed in scoring in the 60th minute after a series of wonderful passes, started with a neat longitudinal pass from Al Azizi to Fabio de Lima, who set the ball by chest to Araujo, in the penalty area to shoot a ball bounced from the foot of the defender to brazilian newcomer Gilberto Oliveira, to score his first goal with the Emperor.
The meeting flared up and the two teams exchanged attacks until the 80th minute but without a clear advantage for one team over another, Odier Hillman made the first substitutions with the entry of Hassan Ibrahim instead of Fabio de Lima, who was injured in the 85th minute, continued to connect in the high pressure on the guest team, to return Oliveira and score a deadly goal in the last seconds of the game, to capture the emperor's card to qualify for the semi-finals of the president’s cups.
