This goal marked the end of Khimenets' 10-match goal drought and was his 30th goal in the championship. The significant goal came at a crucial moment, and for the goalkeeper, it made him one of the leading stars of the match. In the final result, "Al-Wasl" achieved victory, while "Nasr" still couldn't catch up with the goalkeeper, despite showing promise in the last minutes of the game.
After this victory, "Al-Wasl" accumulated 24 points and took the seventh place in the tournament table, while "Nasr" remained with 26 points in fourth place. "Imperator" once again confirmed that the most important thing in such matches is achieving the set goal, and that realism remains the main weapon in such key games.
