New lineup and a different project

Al-Nashama team left with a positive draw from King Abdullah II Stadium against their Syrian counterpart 1/1, in the friendly preparatory match for the upcoming Asian Cup finals in Saudi Arabia.

The team will appear again next week, on Tuesday, at eight in the evening on the same field to face guest team Venezuela in the conclusion of their preparations in this international window.

The fans of Al-Nashama were hoping for a victory at this time, but the start of the Al-Nashama team coach with his new lineup at this stage is the beginning of the road to a different national team project.

The team represented

Aliek Samir, Yazan Al-Arab (Saad Al-Roussan), Hadi Al-Hourani (Abdullah Nasib), Ihsan Haddad (Anas Badawi), Mohanad Abu Taha, Mahmoud Shawkat (Yousef Qashi), Nour Al-Rawabdeh (Tamer Bani Odeh), Nizar Al-Rasheedan (Ibrahim Saada), Mousa Al-Ta'amri (Sharrah), Ali Alaa (Ahmad Al-Arssan), Awad Al-Fakhuri (Anas Al-Awdat).

Syria represented

Elias Hadaya, Ahmed Fakh, Ayham Awso, Abdullah Al-Shami, Khaled Kurdgli, Zakaria Hannan (Wesam Dukhan), Mohamed Othman (Ahmad Yasin), Elmar Ibrahim (Juma Al-Zulf), Jean Mustafa (Mahmoud Halaq), Noah Shamoun (Mustafa Abdel Latif), Mahmoud Al-Aswad (Omar Al-Souma).

Preference

The start of the classic dominated the proceedings during the first five minutes, and the team was relatively better in possession and exchanging short and long balls, while Al-Nashama's goalkeeper Aliek Samir was under the eyes of the fans.

The minutes passed and the atmosphere heated up a bit with the fans demanding the first goal, while the visiting team remained stationed in their positions, applying a type of forced pressure on the team's players and forcing them to rush into making random decisions, and Al-Ta'amri's attempt in the 4th minute and his shot in the 15th minute were the most prominent events in the first quarter.

After 20 minutes, the Syrian team had a missed but relatively dangerous opportunity due to a misjudgment by Al-Arab in clearing a cross ball.

At the 22nd minute, goalkeeper Samir almost committed a foul after misjudging a falling ball after he had left his area to try with the Syrian attacker, but it passed safely after the goalkeeper took control of the situation.

Syrian danger continued due to a misunderstanding from the defense line and the intelligence of the attacker, resulting in another Syrian opportunity that almost spoiled the proceedings.

After half an hour of the proceedings, Al-Nashama returned to more realism, so they slowed down the fast pace and began to deal with the situation in a more developed way, which resulted in two opportunities, one from Al-Ta'amri and the other from Al-Fakhuri, but they did not shake the net.

At the 38th minute, it was time for the first goal when Al-Fakhuri skillfully received a ball on the edge of the penalty area, showed off it, and then delivered it to Alaa, who cleverly shot it to the left of the goalkeeper, announcing the lead for Al-Nashama.

A minute before the end of the first half, the new goalkeeper Samir was on the scene to make an actual save of a Syrian ball that launched from outside the penalty area, and he was on the scene amid the applause of the fans.

Changes

The Al-Nashama coach returned to the field with the same names, as did the Syrian coach, and the Syrian enthusiasm was more evident through the rush that appeared immediately after the whistle, and as soon as a few minutes passed, they managed to translate an opportunity after a glitch from the Al-Nashama midfield, allowing the Syrian defender to place a skillful ball in front of his teammate Jean Mustafa, who skillfully placed it in Samir's goal, the equalizer in the 52nd minute.

The equalizer strongly stirred Al-Nashama and their coach Al-Zaki to start better against the guests, and Al-Hourani's header over the crossbar in the 56th minute was the most prominent development.

After an hour of play, the Syrian team began their substitutions, entering three players, the most prominent of whom was Al-Souma, and the Al-Nashama coach did not delay in trying his cards, bringing in Al-Awdat, Qashi, and Saada amid the welcome of the fans who demanded progress.

After this blood in the veins of the team, attacks continued, and Al-Awdat almost scored, and Al-Ta'amri tried before him, and Alaa dodged in several situations, but Syrian steadfastness was the most prominent.

Al-Arssan, Badawi, Sharrah, Nasib, Bani Odeh, and Al-Roussan also participated, showing the team in a stronger form and higher control, but the draw remained the master of the situation.
