Control without danger for Al-Faisaly
Al-Faisaly team had chances to control the match due to the experience of its players and professionals; however, Ma’an team knew how to deal with the pressure, as it closed the spaces in its field.
Al-Faisaly coach Ahmed Hael fielded a model lineup, but the lack of harmony between the players and the difficulty of the pitch affected him, leaving Al-Faisaly without danger, even though his defender Hossam Abu Al-Dhahab’s shot went just a little in front of the goal.
Al-Faisaly suffered a severe blow after its star player, Fadhel Heikal, was injured and taken to the hospital.
In the second half, Al-Faisaly team tried to intensify its attacks with the presence of Omar Hani, the Palestinian Tamer Siam, the Syrian Mohammed Rayhaniya, and pushed Suhaib Abu Hashesh; but Ma’an succeeded in building a solid defensive arsenal, and its players excelled in thwarting the danger of the competitor, to come out in the end with a valuable point.
