The match between Al-Wahda and their guests Al-Sharjah ended in a 1-1 draw. The game, held this evening at Al-Neyyan Stadium, was part of the postponed matchday of the ninth round of the ADNOC Pro League. The match attracted no more than four thousand spectators. The main highlight of the match was the return of Portuguese coach José Mourinho to Al-Wahda's stadium, but this time as the head coach of Al-Sharjah. Mourinho stood in the technical area for both halves, directing his players. Some Al-Wahda fans chanted against him due to his sudden resignation and direct move to lead 'The King'. Al-Sharjah player Jerónimo Poblete scored the opening goal in the 65th minute with a beautiful sequence of play. However, 'The King' could not enjoy the lead for long, as the home side equalized in the 70th minute with a powerful strike from Gonçalo de Oliveira. With this result, Al-Wahda increased their tally to 25 points, sitting in second place, five points behind leaders Al-Ain (30 points) before the upcoming 'Abu Dhabi clásico' next Saturday. Al-Sharjah added one point to their total, bringing it to 11, and moved up to 10th place with one postponed match in hand.
