Al Rayyan coach, Younes Ali, expressed his gratitude to both teams and the fans. In the post-match press conference following Al Rayyan’s match against Al Wasl, he stated, “The match was fantastic for the fans who enjoyed it. The draw is a fair result considering what both teams gave during the encounter.”
Younes praised goalkeeper Paulo Victor for his outstanding performances and significant contributions to the team, saying, “Paulo had a great match and is the man of the match for me.”
He added, “After this draw, the chances remain open for all teams, considering Persepolis’ victory over Police and Esteghlal’s draw with Al Ahli. There are still two matches remaining for each team, and they will be like finals. Now that we have finished the Al Wakrah match, we are focusing on the upcoming league match. Then there will be a winter transfer window, during which there will be many changes at the team level. Most of these teams will have a different look during the next two rounds of the AFC Champions League Elite, which will be held in February.
