Dubai Business News — Al Nasr travelled to Dubai Club yesterday intent on saving their manager Walter Zenga from the sack, having picked up just one point from the first three games of the season.
Fifteen minutes in and 2-0 up, thanks to Leo Lima's header on 13 minutes via a Mohammad Ali's freekick and Mark Bresciano's toe poke just two minutes later — from a Habib Fardan deflected in ball — put Al Nasr in control. But Dubai Club obviously hadn't read the script.
It was goalkeeping, ironically once Walter Zenga's own forte, which proved the team's Achilles heel as Hassan Mohammad skied an Abu Bakr Camara one-two into the roof of the net from tight inside the box on 17 minutes without intervention from Abdullah Mousa.
The home side's account should have opened much earlier when Nabeel Daoudi crept up behind Mousa, kicked the ball from his hand and then embarrassed him with a nutmeg, which hit the post.
Al Nasr started the second half brighter with Rodrigo Vergilio hitting the left post on 67 minutes, and hope of a seemingly inevitable comeback for Dubai would fade markedly 15 minutes from time with the substitution of untiring workhorse Camara. Final score Dubai 1-2 Al Nasr.
