PFDC- AL Ahli lead
by Ali Karimi & Javad Kazemian who recently joined the club,
came from behind with 10 players to defeat the powerful Al Ain in
their formidable stadium and register a shock away win 4-2.
Both Iranian players, Javad Kazemian in his league debut and Ali Karimi
scored for Al-Ahli. Al-Ain scored in the 6th minute, but a penalty 2
minutes later for Al-Ahli made it 1-1. Before the end of the half,
Al Ahli were down to 10 men after defender Mashmoom Juma was red carded
for a professional foul , in which Al-Ain scored their second goal.
In the beginning of the 2nd half, Al-Ahli started much more determined and
a lovely stint of Al-Ahli passing ended up with Javad Kazemian scoring the
equalizer and his first goal for his team.
Ali Karimi, with his usual magic, dribbled couple of Al-Ain defenders to
score the third before Faisal Khalil sealed it once for all with the 4th
Al-AHli goal.
It was a brilliant result for Al-Ahli, who now lead the table, and a true
satisfying day for Kazemian and Karimi which goes a long way to wipe their
modest performance in the Asian Championship league defeat against
Bakhtakor last week.
