Al Ahli staged a strong fightback to hold Al Shamal 2-2 in Week 7 of the 2022-2023 season QNB Stars League at the Al Sadd Stadium on Wednesday.

This was Al Ahli’s fourth draw and they took their tally to 10 points before going into the league’s long break.

The one point gained also saw Al Shamal move to 10 points after their first draw result of the season.

Al Shamal led 2-0 at half-time, with Mohsen Al Yazidi (sixth minute) and Yacine Bammou (ninth minute) striking early.

For Al Ahli, Hossein Kanaani (59th minute penalty) and Yazan Al Naimat (89th minute) scored.

While Al Shamal appeared to be in a strong position taking the early two-goal lead, Al Ahli kept working their way for long before their moves could materialize. One such moment was when Matias Nani pushed back Al Naimat when inside the box and the referee, after a VAR check, signalled to the spot.

Kanaani made no mistake with the kick and Al Ahli now surely looked to fight back harder. Their efforts were rewarded as Al Naimat picked on a long volley to shoot a rasping shot which found the net despite a little deflection from Fahad Waad Al Bayati’s boot.

Al Naimat was also easily one of the most hard-working of players on the day for Al Ahli.

The added time saw some anxious moments with both sides trying hard and when Al Shamal’s substitute Majed Mohammed fell inside the box during a tussle for the ball with Abdulrasheed Ibrahim, also a sub, fears of a penalty were raised, but the referee ruled otherwise.

Earlier, the match had begun with a double setback for Al Ahli as Al Yazidi and Bammou dealt blows in quick succession and in fine style.

The first goal’s making emerged from an Al Ahli corner kick and with the ball being kicked away, Al Yazidi collected a good pass from near the centre line to go all the way into the box and score.

Minutes later, Al Shamal again worked from the right, with Ali Olwan dribbling past two defenders to provide Bammou with the pass. And Bammou was quick to perfectly deflect it into the goal.
