their formation that will play in the coming championship with
Hisham Shleikh in the defense, Khodor Salameh in the midfield,
and Ahmad Naamani in the forward as the main elements in the
squad together with their friends El-Jurdi, Gerard, El-Miri,

On
the other hand, Al-Ansar showed a less state of readiness, and a
low level of coherence among the newly formed defense line
composed of Rabih Esper, Ali Hassoun, Zouheir Murad, & Fadi
Hallak. In the midfield, this line is still waiting for the come
back of its leader David Nakid who didn't participate in the
match yet due to a technical decision by the technical manager
of the team Adnan Mikdashi. In the forward, this line lacks an
attacker up to the expectations as neither Peter Prospar nor the
young players Haitham Hallak, & Mohammad Jawad can carry the
team upon their shoulders alone. This necessity shall be handled
by the Team management in the coming few days to secure the
third and last foreign player in the squad that would fill the
gap.
The match goal was scored early on the 5th.minute with a strong
header by Ahmad Naamani who hit the ball inside the target
despite Ziad Assamad attempts to clear the ball.
