Vasco Da Gama earns second straight win

The fight between Vasco da Gama and Al Ahli match was exciting from start to finish, with goals being scored in bunches. Both Carioca and Emirati showed great mettle and were resilient as the two teams exchanged goals throughout. The early two goal and then three goal lead was too much for Marcelo Mendes' side to overcome and the final score ended up 4-6. Vasco got another win, however penatlies did not decide this one and Vasco earned three points. Despite strong play in their first two matches, and three goals by Portuguese ace Belchior today, Al-Ahli has been not lucky so far.

The opening frame began with a supremely quick goal for Vasco da Gama to give them the early one goal lead. After a rapid first few minutes, both teams calmed themselves defensively and no other goals were scored until Vasco was awarded a penalty kick in the middle of the period, which they netted. Making sure to keep the game close, Al-Ahli scored soon afterwards to give them their first goal of the match and pull within 2 goals. The first period ended with a score of 3-1, advantage for the Trem Bala da Praia.

The second leg saw another quick goal scored by Vasco to put them up by three goals. Just as Vasco looked to run away with the match, Al-Ahli responded, with a penalty kick by the Brazilian star Belchior. The goal pulled the Emirati to within 2 goals, but less than a minute later, Vasco took advantage of a turnover to go back up by three. A second penalty kick was given to Belchior of Al-Ahli and he did the same thing again, scored. In the middle of the period the Dubai-based had a two goal deficit, down 3-5. Despite wonderful chances from both squads and a red card given to both teams, no other goals were scored in the second period. The frame ended with a score of Al-Ahli 3-5 Vasco.

Stiff goaltending and defense dictated the opening minutes of the final period. The shots were numerous and despite solid shots neither side scored as the goalies did wonders on direct kicks and acrobatic attempts. The defensive work from both sides was spectacular in the final period as no goals were scored and the match ended with Vasco winning 4-6 after both sides scored very late goals. Belchior made the final goal for Al-Ahli completing a hat-trick.

The three points, in the 4-6 victory, for Vasco da Gama, when added to the two they earned yesterday put them in a great position to advance to the semi-finals. Despite being shut out in their opening match, the four goals against Vasco were not enough for Al-Ahli to win their first match of the tournament. Al-Ahli will face F.C. Barcelona on Friday and Vasco Da Gama will be matched against Botafogo.
