uaeproleague.ae: Sep. 24, 2021

Substitute Khalid Abdul Raheem Bawazir and Ben Malango scored two goals within four minutes to help Sharjah to a well-deserved, fighting 2-1 win against Al visiting Jazira in the ‘Saudi National Day’ Round Five of the UAE ADNOC Pro League, late on Friday.

Reduced to ten men at the fag end of the first half after UAE national team striker Ali Mabkhout had given Al Jazira the lead in the very second minute, the men from the Capital managed to keep the marauding

Sharjah's attack line was at bay through most of the second half. But Bawazir, who entered as a substitute for Luan Pereira in the 80th minute, proved to be the lucky talisman for coach Abdulaziz Al Anbari as he equalized two minutes later after receiving from Otabek Shukurov.

Provided with a handful of scoring opportunities earlier, Ben Malango got his name on the scorers’ list when he was fed by another Sharjah substitute, Alhasan Saleh in the 86th minute to help the home team to full points following last week’s loss to Shabab Al Ahli.

Sharjah took their tally to 12 points to slip into second place behind Al Ain (13 points), while Shabab Al Ahli (11 points) and Al Jazira (10) occupy the next two spots heading into next week’s sixth round of the UAE ADNOC Pro League.
