Al Wasl Achieve Narrow Win over 10-Man Khorfakkan in ADNOC Pro League

Michel Araújo's second-half strike was enough for Al Wasl to secure a 1-0 win over ten-man Khorfakkan at Saqr bin Mohammad Al Qassimi Stadium in matchweek 15 ADNOC Pro League on Thursday.

 

 

 

 

Defender Abdullah El Refaey was sent off after 31 minutes, leaving his side a man short for an hour.

 

 

 

 

The hosts were close to opening the scoring after a powerful shot from Brazilian midfielder Dodô, but it was denied by goalkeeper Ibrahim Issa in the 48th minute.

 

 

 

 

Uruguayan Araújo broke the deadlock in the 71st minute when he curled a low effort from inside of the penalty area and into the left corner of the net.

 

 

 

 

Two minutes before the end, Alexandre Oliveira nearly doubled Al Wasl's lead but his finish of Salem Juma's cross passed just over the crossbar.

 

 

 

 

Losing three league games on the trot for the first time this season, Khorfakkan remain 11th with 15 points while Al Wasl take their tally to 21 points in sixth place.
