Al Ain defender Yahya Ben Khalid stated that his team deservedly defeated Al Wasl to reclaim the top spot in the Pro League. He emphasized that 'The Leader' approaches each match individually with the aim of winning and ultimately clinching the league title. 'It was crucial to win this match, especially after Shabab Al Ahli's victory in this round. Every player gave his all in the game against Al Wasl, and we managed to win in the end. This match will give us a huge morale boost before the next game against Al Wahda,' the player said. In turn, Al Wasl's goalkeeper Khaled Al-Snani apologized to the fans and the club's management after a series of disappointing results in the last three matches, stressing that the team will work hard to correct its course and return to the path of victories.
