Kalba Secures a Point Against Dibba Al-Hisn
In a thrilling match, Al-Ittihad Kalba managed a 2-2 draw against Dibba Al-Hisn, with Iranian players Mehdi Ghaedi and Saman Ghoddos playing pivotal roles.
Al-Ittihad Kalba continued their series of draws, securing a 2-2 result against Dibba Al-Hisn in an away fixture. This marks their third consecutive draw, following a dramatic 3-3 match against Al-Ain last week. The standout performances came from Iranian players Mehdi Ghaedi and Saman Ghoddos, who were instrumental in both goals.
Ghaedi opened the scoring with a spectacular long-range shot from outside the penalty area. In stoppage time, his powerful strike was parried by the goalkeeper, allowing Ghoddos to capitalize on the rebound and net the equalizer. This goal marked Ghoddos's second consecutive score and Ghaedi's third in as many matches for Al-Ittihad Kalba.
Despite hopes for a straightforward victory, Kalba faced unexpected challenges from Dibba Al-Hisn. Without Ghoddos's late heroics in the 98th minute, they would have suffered a defeat. The draw positions Al-Ittihad Kalba seventh in the league standings, just above Al-Wasl. A win could have elevated them to sixth place, overtaking Al-Ain. Meanwhile, Dibba Al-Hisn remains in twelfth place with six points.
