Coach Al Abdali Thanks Al Taawoun Fans

A dramatic 4-2 penalty shootout win against Tractor leaves the Saudi Arabian team only two steps away from being crowned AFC Champions League Two 2024-25 winner.

“The match wasn't easy due to the injuries to Mutab (Al Mufarrij) and (Renne) Rivas, in addition to the suspension of Waleed (Al Ahmad),” said Al Abdali.

“Things were complicated, but we won. I thank the Al Taawoun fans and promise them that we won't stop at this stage, as we will continue until the end.

“Everything that happened to us had a positive impact. Maybe Tractor having the weekend off to prepare for this game affected them negatively,” he added.

“We worked recently to prepare all the players to avoid fatigue. We worked to ensure that they were ready for every match, and this helped us a lot,” Al Abdali concluded.
