Monrovia–Iraqi champion Al Shorta SC and Liberia’s first division outfit Fassell FC played out to an entertaining draw in a friendly match in Egypt.
In the framework of the Police Club camp currently in Egypt, the Guitar team played a friendly match against the Liberian side, which ended in a draw in preparation for the Asian Elite Championship, the two league championships and the local cup.
The first half saw a strong performance from the Harpards, who dominated the match right from the start.
Al Shorta started the match with a line-up that included both Mohamed Karim in goal, Ahmed Zero, Amir Sabah, Salmon Banka, Hassan Raed, Rywan, Fahad Youssef the” team captain”, Abdul Razzaq Qasim, Hussain Ali, Mohamed Sharara, and Muas.
The team managed to seize the ball and force its rhythm on the pitch, as Jordanian newcomer Mohamed Sharara managed to make his first impression with the team by scoring his first goal after a skillful pass from Rewan Al-Amin.
However, the Police didn’t last long, as Fassell FC realized a draw at 30 minutes of the first half, and five minutes later, Mawas shot a solid ball that took a deflection off the opponent, for the events of the first half to end in a positive 1-1 draw.
Back from the break, the North African made five changes at once at the beginning of the half, bringing in both Muhammad Dawood, Basam Shaker, Lucas Santos, Faisal Jassim, and Sajad Jassim, instead of the players Hassan Raed, Hussain Ali, Fahad Youssef, Muhammad Sharara and Amir Sabah.
Substitute Mohamed Dawoud managed to score the second goal early in the half, but the opponent justified the result ten minutes after the goal was scored.
The Police team was the best for most of the match, and the technical device managed to engage as many players as possible to get the most out of the team, and get them into the competitive atmosphere ahead of the Asian Championship.
Tuesday’s draw was the second for Fassell after their 1-1 draw with JKU SC.
The Liberian club is in pre-season in Egypt ahead of the new league season in Liberia that is expected to kick off in October.
