The team "Al-Jazira" went to the professional UAE President's Cup, defeating "Al-Ain" with a score of 1-0 in the quarter-finals, which took place yesterday on Saturday.
After this victory, "Al-Jazira" hopes to restore form and aims to overcome the challenging supercup, which is also aiming to qualify for the professional league. The match between "Al-Sharja" and "Kalba" will take place tomorrow at 18:30.
In the game against "Al-Ain", "Al-Jazira" won thanks to a goal from striker Ramon Mireza, who scored in the 57th minute. The match was tightly contested, with real chances for both teams occurring only in the final 10 minutes of the game.
An interesting incident involved a judge who appeared to have a guest from Valencia holding a "VAR" sign. The episode of the "hand" position behind the ball, subjected to criticism by Zaide Hadzhimi, was overturned by the VAR technology. In the 77th minute, Al-Jazira surprised Al-Ain, becoming the leader with the help of Mireza's goal following a pass from Nabil Fakir.
Throughout the game, Al-Ain pressured for the supercup, but the goal they scored became the deciding factor. Al-Jazira's goalkeeper Ali Khusni stood out with a solid performance, particularly when stopping attempts from "Al-Ain", even reflecting a strike from Sufyan Rakhim. At the end of the match, the referee showed red cards to Kako and Bruno for their confrontation.
Another match ended with a victory for "Al-Ahli" over "Ajman" with a score of 2-1. The match between "Al-Sharja" and "Kalba" will take place at 18:30 at the "Al-Sharja" stadium.
