“This weekend, during the 12th round of matches, the final games of this calendar year are being played in the United Arab Emirates. Yesterday, there was a match between the team led by Slovenian coach Darko Milanič‘s Bani Yas and Ittihad Kalbo, represented by Andres Vombergar. The Slovenian duel, after an exciting encounter and a dramatic finish, belonged to the former coach of Maribor, breaking a streak of three consecutive defeats.
The guests struck first in Abu Dhabi, scoring in the 36th minute through a successful combination between Filip Kiss and Daniel Bessa.
Darko Milanič’s team displayed a completely different game in the second half, turning the tide. They gained an extra edge in the 52nd minute when the visiting midfielder Sultan Adil received his second yellow card and was sent off. The hosts capitalized on this advantage almost immediately, equalizing two minutes later through Taulant Seferi‘s successful penalty. Vombergar had a chance about ten minutes before the end of the regular time, but the former member of Olimpija didn’t significantly impact the game until the end of the match. The final score (2:1) was set deep into stoppage time by Youssoufou Niakate.
The championship in the Middle Eastern country will resume in February next year.
