Al-Nasr returns from Baniyas Stadium “standing tall”

Al-Nasr maintained its series of positive results in the ADNOC Professional League by defeating its host Baniyas, 2-1, in Al Shamkha, yesterday, in the 11th round of the competition. Jontas Santos opened the scoring for Al-Nassr after an individual effort from the middle of the field, ending it with a shot that landed to the right of the goalkeeper (18), and Baniyas equalized the score seven minutes later, following a magical pass from Savior Godin to Al-Hassan Koroma, who deposited the ball into the net. Al-Nasr regained its lead through Ramon Merez, taking advantage of Mehdi Qaidi’s cross, and headed it into the goal (31). Before the end of the first half, Baniyas won a penalty kick, shot by Shukurov, but Abdullah Al Tamimi successfully saved it (45+10). Problems continued for Baniyas in the 53rd minute, as its player, Lionel Wamba, was exposed to a direct red card after a violent intervention. Al-Nasr raised its score to 18 points, while Baniyas’ score froze at seven points.
