Makhete Diop scored a vital equalizer as Al Dhafra earned a crucial point with a 1-1 draw against visiting Al Nasr in early action of the 12th round of the ADNOC Pro League, on Thursday.
Antonio Jose De Carvalho guided in a Diaa Sabi’a assist to give Al Nasr the lead in the 17th minute. But the all-towering Makhete Diop was once in the limelight as the hosts managed to draw level in the 24th minute.
Tied 1-1 at the end of half-time, both teams resorted to a conservative approach and failed to get through rival defences to share the spoils on a cool evening.
The result had little significance in the standings as Al Nasr continued in sixth place with 18 points, while Al Dhafra remained close to the drop zone in 12th place with nine points.
