Al-Wasl goalkeeper Mohamed Ali has promised the 'Emperor's' fans to make up for the defeat his team suffered yesterday against Khorfakkan with a single goal in the 14th round of the Pro League. This match left Al-Wasl with 25 points in fourth place, moving them one step further from the competition. Khorfakkan, in turn, raised its total to 15 points, moving up to 10th place. Mohamed Ali noted that the point gap between Al-Wasl and league leaders Al-Ahli has become significant. In his post-match media statements, he said: 'We let down the Al-Wasl fans in this match and lost three important points, but we promise that what's coming will be better, and we will work to correct our mistakes in the upcoming matches.' On the other hand, Khorfakkan player Abdullah Al-Rifai confirmed that his team's victory over Al-Wasl at their home stadium in the presence of fans in Zaabeel was well-deserved and timely, given the team's current position in the league table. He added that this win will give the players a significant morale boost for the next stage. The game's only goal came in the 18th minute from Moroccan player Tarik Tissoudali, capitalizing on a fatal defensive error by Al-Wasl's defenders and a subsequent mistake by goalkeeper Mohamed Ali.
