Brazilians Wagner and Romarinho saved El Jaish from bidding farewell to their 2015 AFC Champions League aspirations. Both scored for El Jaish in the dying minutes of yesterday’s match against Al-Nahda (Oman) which was played in the Thani bin Jassim stadium. Being a goal down, the Soldiers came back in extra time in dramatic fashion to lead their team to victory.

With this win El Jaish has now qualified for the third and final stage of the preliminary round, they will now play against Neft of Tehran on the 17^th Feb’ 2015.

Al-Nahda took the lead by a goal from the Mauritanian player Sheikh Samba on the 4^th minute. El Jaish forward Wagner scored the equalizing goal on the 78^th minute, and then Romarinho snatched the winning goal in the second minute of stoppage time.

El Jaish was frustrated for large parts of the game despite their superiority and domination with many goal-scoring opportunities coming from Mohammed Muntari, Majed Mohamed and Lee Keon.

During the second half, particularly from the 60^th minute, things changed after the Head Coach Sabri Lafourche fielded Romarinho and Wagner for Muntari and Majed Mohamed.
