Sunday, the 13th of December 2020, 2.15 pm local time (12.15 pm UTC), Al Ahed Stadium, Beirut (Ouzai), Lebanon, the 8th round of the Lebanese Premier League.
Bourj FC had a difficult game against Al Akhaa Al Ahly Aley, but the final score, 0-0, is only the result of the inability of Bourj attack to score goals. Otherwise, despite being classified among the first, Al Akhaa Al Ahly really struggled only in the defense, with rare counterattacks. The visitors only tried to keep the 0-0 result, even by time wasting and fragmenting the game as much as possible.
Therefore, it was only Bourj which attempted to create some football and to score. They had several chances, but apparently they have big troubles in finalizing. Mohamed Kassem stole the ball from a defender but was stopped by the goalkeeper (10'), Abou Baker Al-Mel had a shot from inside his own half (!!) but the ball went over the crossbar (24'), Fadel Antar had a good chance inside the area but postponed the moment of shooting or passing until it was too late (31').
The second half started much in the same way. After a corner, Mohamed Al Faour's header hit the crossbar (50'). The only other big chance for Bourj came only in the final minutes, when Fadel Antar was unable to score from inside the area (85'). Bourj's pressure intensified at the end of the match, but to no avail.
Bourj: Abdel Karim Saleh - Hamza Abboud, Khodor Hallak, Ahmad Al Khatib, Walid Ismail - Hussein Ibrahim, Mohamed Al Faour - Abou Baker Al-Mel (Mohamed Nasser 88'), Mohamed Kassem, Hussein Al Outa (Zain Al Abidin Farran 80') - Fadel Antar. Manager: Fouad Hijazi.
Al Akhaa Al Ahly Aley: Shaker Wehbe - Nader Maroush, Muhammad Qurhani, Musa Zayat, Habib Shuwiakh, Ali Kharroubi (Sari Shehayeb 75'), Saeed Awada, Zahir Hassan, Ali Markabawi (Gerges Saeed 85'), Daniel Abou Fakhr (Rael Al-Awar 85'), Ibrahin Bahsoun (Areej Hilal 90').
Referee: Muhammad Issa.
Yellow cards: Hamza Abboud 58', Walid Ismail 70', Zain Al Abidin Farran 90'+4' - Daniel Abou Fakhr 70'.
Bourj will play their next game against Tadamon Sour, but the dates of the next matches are not yet known. They are still in the upper half of the table but they need to win the games against Tadamon Sour and Shabab Al-Ghazieh to maintain their position and to qualify for the play-off.
