Suddenly and without acceptable introductions, Sharjah and Al Ain lose together, in the fifth and penultimate round in the AFC Champions League groups, and we say suddenly, because each of them was moving forward at the top of their group without defeat, and because one of them, Al Ain, had already qualified for the decisive stages with a large difference in points. Between him and the others, and if we are seeking an excuse for him, to some extent, for losing following he secured promotion, especially since he played the match once morest Nasaf of Uzbekistan with a team mostly made up of reserves, if there are those who see this as an excuse for the eyes, then what is the excuse for Sharjah, which lost? At its home stadium, Al-Sadd, lost its lead, and even its qualification became fraught with danger?!
The truth of the matter is that it was a tour to forget, in Al Ain, and although his coach adopted the method of rotating the players and this is normal, given that he had just come out of a difficult and important match once morest Shabab Al-Ahly in the local league in which he made an amazing display and a remarkable victory, the coach made a mistake when he showed excessive confidence. On the opposing team, they took revenge for their first defeat and won with the same result of their loss, and embarrassed Al Ain when they scored 3 goals once morest themselves following losing by one goal. Of course, this was not worthy of Al Ain, one of the strong candidates to go far.
As for Al-Sharjah, which has declined internally and externally, in an unacceptable and unexpected way, it has no choice now but to win over Al-Faisaly of Jordan there, as the calculations of the rise have become complicated, between it and Pakhtakor, which jumped to the top, and Al-Sadd of Qatar, which revived its hopes with its well-deserved victory over Al-Sharjah in its stadium.
Finally
Al Ain faces upcoming football battles following the collective qualification of the Saudi teams, Al Hilal, Al Ittihad and Al Nasr.
Sharjah must regain itself, as Jordanian Al-Faisaly is not easy despite its exit from the competition.
