Alioune Ndour scored a stoppage-time equalizer to salvage a 2-2 draw for Dibba Al Hisn against Al Bataeh on Friday in matchweek 16 of the ADNOC Pro League at Khalid Bin Mohammed Stadium.
Defender Hamdan Alkamali dinked a precise long through pass to tee up Midana Bigna, who rounded the goalkeeper and slotted the ball into an empty net after three minutes.
But that advantage was short-lived as Edilson Alberto towered above Dibba Al-Hisn's defense to hit the equalizer for Al Bataeh in the 23rd minute.
Skipper Anatole Bertrand flipped the match on its head seven minutes before the break as Mohammad Juma delivered a pinpoint cross from the right into the penalty area, where Ulrich Sidoine fired a powerful header, which was parried away by goalkeeper Suhail Abdulla Ibrahim.
The ball fell to the Cameroonian striker, who poked the rebound in.
Ndour secured a point for the visitors in the 95th minute after poking the rebound in to earn a draw for Dibba Al Hisn.
The result means Al Bataeh sit 12th with 12 points, while Dibba Al Hisn are 13th with 10 points.
