A positive tie settles our confrontation with Al Duhail

The positive tie was settled with the result of 1-1 facing Al-Khor and Al-Duhail in the match that brought the two teams together at Hamad bin Khalifa Stadium in Al-Ahly Club in the twenty-first week of the QNB Stars League for the football season 2020-2021 Al Duhail was the initiator of the advance through Brazilian Dudu in the 49th minute, while the Greek Vitaa scored the equalizer for the Knights in the 65th minute from a penalty kick. With this result, Al-Duhail raised its score to 44 points in second place, while Al-Khor raised its score to 16 points in the eleventh and penultimate place, expanding the difference to 7 points with Al-Kharaitiyat (twelfth with 9 points), which was officially relegated to the second division. Returning to the events of the meeting, the first half was medium-level, and Al-Khor relied on organized defense, with the use of counter-attack weapons to exploit the speeds of Vetva and Ismail Al-Haddad and in front of them the German Lasoga. The attempts continued from Al-Duhail, but his balls lacked accuracy in front of the goal in addition to the brilliance of Papa Gabriel, and Salah Zakaria also increased his goal and prevented any danger on his team's goal. As the first half drew to a close, Al-Duhail stepped up his offensive attempts to score the first goal, and Al-Moez hit a strong ball, then an opportunity arose in front of Ismail Mohamed, but without translating all the opportunities into goals. On the other hand, the Greek Vetva's attempts continued, whose movements in the right front caused a great inconvenience to the Al-Duhail defenders, and in the 46th minute he started with a ball and shot it strong, but it passed next to the left post to end the first half with a goalless draw. In the second half, Al-Duhail continued to press, especially from Al-Moez Ali, but Baba Jibril blocked his ball in the first minutes, and also the ball of Ahmed Yasser, who tried to do the defensive support in the 47th minute. In the 49th minute, Al-Duhail succeeded in disengaging and scored the first goal by Brazilian Dudu after a confused ball rebounded from the knights' defense to wave in front of Dudu's feet, who placed him directly in the net. Al-Khor begins the initiative to swap Al-Duhail offensive to score the equalizing goal, and he had what he really wanted to score the equalizer through the Greek Vettva from a penalty kick in the 65th minute after referee Salman Fellahi resorted to the VAR technique due to a handball on Al-Duhail defender Ali Mal Allah, and Vita fired it to the left of Salah Zakaria to score 1-1. German Schaefer pushed Anas Al-Fadil instead of Mohamed Al-Jabri and Tamer Jamal instead of Ismail Al-Haddad ten minutes before the end in the hope of snatching the winning goal, but the minutes passed, to end the second half and the meeting with a positive tie between the two teams 1-1.
