Press

Al Ain Football Team has officially declared its qualification to the quarter-final stage of the Arabian Gulf Cup following the team’s deserved victory over the home team, Al Dhafra FC, on the double. The matchweek 5 of the Arabian Gulf Cup was held at Hamdan Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Stadium at Al Dhafra Club.

Al Ain took the lead when Brazil’s Caio Canedo break the deadlock at “32”. The Brazilian’s right-footed drilled freekick effort nestled into the back of the net to make it 1-0. In the dying moments of the game at “86”, the Boss secured the full points as they doubled their lead through an own goal from Abdulrahman Yousef. Andrija Radovanovic went up the right flank and sent a ground cross inside the box, Masoud Suleiman poorly cleared that and settled into the back of the net after a massive deflection off Yousef.
