Al Rayyan coach Younes Ali said during the post-match press conference following Al Rayyan’s match against Al Ahli Saudi: “Al Rayyan delivered a distinguished second half, unlike the first half where we gifted the opponent the two goals. The goals came from individual mistakes due to a lack of focus. The team was not at a high level of focus and intensity during the first half. In the second half, we changed our style of play and the team was more aggressive and created many chances, but unfortunately, we had bad luck in finishing the attacks.”
He added: “It’s true that we presented excellent performances in the matches we played during the AFC Champions League, but performance alone is not enough in such tournaments. We need to score points in the upcoming matches.
