Ajman played a valuable goalless draw with their host, Al-Wasl, today, despite playing the entire second match with ten men after Moroccan striker Walid Azharou was sent off in the final seconds of the first half. This match was part of the eighth round of the ADNOC Pro League for football. Despite the numerical disadvantage, 'The Orange' presented a disciplined performance in the first half, successfully balancing defensive duties and counter-attacks before naturally retreating in the second half to absorb the continuous pressure from the 'Emperor', who intensified his attempts in search of a goal that would guarantee him the match points.Ajman's goalkeeper Ali Al-Hosni emerged as one of the match's stars, making a series of crucial interventions to save dangerous attempts by Al-Wasl players: Al-Sasi, Ali Saleh, and Serginho. Despite this immense pressure from Al-Wasl, the visiting side nearly overturned the game's outcome with a counter-attack following a successful breakthrough by their player Ismail Momen through Al-Wasl's defense, which he ended with a powerful strike that rebounded off the crossbar.With this result, Al-Wasl missed the opportunity to snatch third place from Shabab Al-Ahli, raising their tally to 15 points and remaining in fourth place, while Ajman stayed in ninth position with 10 points.
