MUSCAT, DEC 26
Al Amerat club lifted their maiden 2023-24 beach soccer league title in style as they trounced rivals Al Shabab 10-6 in their last league match at the sand courts of Sultan Qaboos Youth Complex in Salalah. Al Shabab team finished as runners-up as the third-placed team Masirah suffered a 3-2 loss against Saham, who ended in the fourth position.
It was a historical season for the Muscat-based team who confirmed the league crown before two rounds with no defeats in their records. It was the first achievement for Al Amerat as they collected 36 points from 12 rounds while Al Shabab came in second with 21 points and Masirah were third with same credit but less goal difference.
The winning team, coached by former national beach soccer team player Ishaq bin Almas al Noufli, delivered an outstanding show in the final to excel against opponents Al Shabab on December 25. Al Amerat began with Ahmed al Owaisi netting the opening goal while his teammate Younis al Owaisi doubled the lead before Al Shabab’s Abdullah al Balushi reduced the gap and then equalised to make the score 2-2.
Al Shabab then took the lead for the first time when Mohammed al Balushi made it 3-2.
BOUNCE BACK
Al Shabab moved further as they scored the fourth goal by Shareef al Balushi before Al Amerat bounced back strongly to the match through Khalid al Oraimi who scored the third goal before Abdullah al Souti returned the match into the origin point at 4-4. Later, Al Amerat pressed hard as they scored the fifth and sixth goals by Ahmed al Owaisi and Nouh al Zadjali respectively. Abdullah al Souti made the score before end of the second period at 7-4.
In the third and last period, Nouh al Battashi from Al Amerat scored an own goal before national team player Abdullah al Souti netted the eighth goal and then the ninth by Younis al Owaisi before Al Yaqdhan al Hinai completed the scoring spree as he registered the 10th goal to make it 10-5. Before the match end, Sameer al Saadi scored the sixth goal for Al Shabab to finish the match at 10-6.
Al Amerat head coach Ishaq bin Almas al Noufli said that the team had planned well for the title since the beginning of the league. “The plan was implemented very well and we managed to lift the title without any defeat. The team faced difficulty in the second half of the league as all the teams showed top performance. However, we overcame these challenges and managed to win the league’s crown. All the team members worked as one group towards accomplishing this target. Thanks to all the players for their hard work and the support from the board directors,” he added.
