Match in pictures: Al Ahli vs Al Nasr

The Al Ahli Ultras under the watchful eyes of the past and the present of UAE leadership.

The visiting team – Al Nasr adorning the spirit of the Union to commemorate with the National Day Celebrations on the Dec 2nd.

The Al Ahli striker was basically non-existent again. Feasts on weaker teams but does otherwise against teams of a similar calibre.

Don’t see the Chilean Luis Jimenez staying past this season at the club. Dismal performance.

Al Nasr GK Abdualla Moosa Ali was the better of the two keepers on display.

Al Nasr’s Brazilian – Bruno Cesar Correa who is a nominee for the Asian Foreign Player of the Year award was marked closely.

We all have a weakness. And a major chunk of this world’s population feels that tug when someone mentions 4-3-3. Gets goosebumps when a sublime pass is made. There is a feeling of pleasure when an orb rolls on the grass as a result of conjuring a trick as much as intentionally executing the laws of the physical world. Football, one realizes is more than a game.
