Al Bataeh Secure 2-0 Win over Ittihad Kalba in ADNOC Pro League

Newly-promoted Al Bataeh marked their ADNOC Pro League debut with a 2-0 win over Ittihad Kalba on Friday in matchweek 1 at Ittihad Kalba Stadium.

 

 

Al Bataeh wasted no time and took an early lead less than eight minutes into the game after goalkeeper Zayed Ahmed teed Lourency Do up as the latter brilliantly cut inside the box before slotting the ball into the back of the net.

 

 


Al Bataeh became the first newly-promoted club to secure the three points in the opening game of the League since the 2016-17 season when Ittihad Kalba defeated Dibba 1-0.

 

 


Goalkeeper Zayed Ahmed has become the first goalkeeper to produce a key pass since February 2019 when Shabab Al Ahli's Majed Naser teed up his teammate Ahmed Khalil to score a goal against Al Jazira.

 

 

The visitors were awarded a penalty kick in the 93rd minute, but Joao Pedro watched his effort from the spot being saved by goalkeeper Eisa Houti.

 

 

Pedro cemented his side's lead in the 9th minute of the injury time after firing a powerful right-footed shot from the outside of the box into the top right corner of the net to seal the victory.
