Our team loses to Al Gharafa

Our first football team lost to its counterpart, Al-Gharafa, by two unanswered goals, within the framework of the seventeenth week of the Expo Stars League competitions, in a match held this evening at Hamad Bin Khalifa Stadium in Al-Ahly Club. The match began with a phase of checking the pulse and a cautious calm between the two teams, with Al-Gharafa taking slight possession, and our team relied on its attacks through counterattacks by Thiago Di Luanco, Andre Siahputra, and Fouad Hanafouk. Our team had the first missed opportunity from a counterattack led by Andre Siahputra, who passed the ball to Ayman Al-Hassouni, who in turn shot the ball, but it hit the right post of Al-Gharafa's goalkeeper. Our team tries to keep the ball for as long as possible in an attempt to build attacks and surprise Al-Gharafa with the first goal, but without danger. Al-Gharafa had several chances, but they found the brilliance of our team's defenses, including goalkeeper Evanildo Rodriguez. Our team once again threatened Al-Gharafa's goal through Ayman Al-Hassouni with a shot that passed near the post for Al-Gharafa's goalkeeper. Al-Gharafa tried to threaten our team's goal on more than one opportunity, but they found the brilliance of our goalkeeper, Evanildo Rodriguez. The first half ended in a goalless draw between the two teams, in a half in which the two teams played with extreme caution and closedness from both sides, which made the task of scoring goals difficult. The second half, like the first half, began with cautious calm between the two teams, with some attacks that did not pose a threat to either goalkeeper. Al-Gharafa began to threaten our team's goal at the beginning of the second half with several chances, but the brilliance of our goalkeeper, Evanildo Rodriguez, then Jamal Hamad responded to Al-Gharafa's chances with a shot that passed next to the post for goalkeeper Khalifa Bou Badr. Al-Gharafa succeeded in scoring the first goal through Lianko from a header after Yassin Ibrahimi's cross. Our team made two substitutions, with Gamal Hamad leaving, Mohamed Salah Al-Nile entering, Saif Al-Muhannadi entering, and Moataz Al-Bistami leaving to activate the offensive front with the midfield. Our team attempts to reduce the difference, but without any real danger to Al-Gharafa’s goal. Our team tried again to reduce the score through a Thiago Di Luanco header that was blocked by Khalifa Bou Bakr, then several attacks followed, but they were not exploited in the desired manner, so the match ended with our team losing by two unanswered goals, and our team’s balance froze at 11 points in eleventh place from last.
