Al Ain and Kalba share spoils as Bani Yas held
Gulf Today
|September 01, 2025
Al Ain and Kalba played out a 1-1 draw in their ADIB Cup gameweek one’s clash at Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium on Saturday, leaving the tie finely poised ahead of the decisive return fixture on 5 September at Kalba Stadium.
-
The game came to life in the closing stages of the first half after a cagey opening in which neither side created many clear-cut chances.
Kalba took the lead in the 45th minute following a defensive lapse.
Amadu Niang failed to clear his lines, allowing Nemanja Jovic to seize possession inside the box.
The forward showed excellent composure as he cut inside before lifting a clever chip over the advancing goalkeeper to break the deadlock.
However, Kalba struck back almost immediately in first-half stoppage time.
A misplaced pass from Mohamed Subil was intercepted by Kaku, who picked out Laba Kodjo with a perfectly weighted through ball on the edge of the area.
