Al Ahli striker Diogo Jota scored two goals to help his side draw 1-1 with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the opening match of the Qatar World Cup on Tuesday night. The match was held at the Lusail Stadium, which is one of the venues for the tournament. The game was a tight affair, with both teams creating chances but failing to convert them into goals. Jota's first goal came in the 45th minute, after he capitalized on a defensive mistake by PSG's defenders. He beat the goalkeeper and slotted home the ball into the net. The second goal came in the 68th minute, when Jota received the ball from a long pass from teammate Hamza Barakat and dribbled past several defenders before slotting it past the goalkeeper. Despite the victory, Al Ahli will be disappointed not to have won the match, as they dominated possession and created more scoring opportunities than PSG. However, their efforts were ultimately in vain as they couldn't find the back of the net. PSG,Saudi Pro League Focus on the other hand, will be happy with a point, as they managed to keep a clean sheet against a strong opponent. They will now face defending champions Argentina in the next round of the tournament. Overall, it was a decent start for Al Ahli in the tournament, but they will need to improve if they want to progress further. PSG, on the other hand, will be hoping to build on this result and continue their dominance in the tournament. |
