A friendly defeat of the Lebanese team against Bahrain

The Lebanese soccer team ended its preparatory camp in the Emirates with a 1-3 defeat to Bahrain in preparation for the double elimination for the 2022 World Cup and the 2023 Asian Cup. Despite the Lebanese’s progression in the first half with Muhammad Kdouh’s goal in the 44th minute, the Cedars players had their performance in the half. The second, with the decrease in the level of physical fitness, they met three objectives through Hashem Al-Sayed Issa (53), Kamil Al-Aswad (58) and Muhammad Marhoon (82).

“The Lebanese team tried to keep up with the Bahrainis as much as they could and created opportunities, and the goalkeeper faced several others,” said Jamal Taha, coach of the Lebanese team. Little by little, the difference in the level appeared in favor of the Bahrainis, especially physically, and this is normal in the current circumstances. We learned a lot from the game, and our mission is to work to eliminate the gaps that have appeared, which are expected after a long hiatus, at the international and local level. We lost many times, and at least one additional goal was scored.
The Lebanese team returns to Beirut today, while the Bahraini team ends its camp next Monday by facing the Emirates team, and after that they will start the league in their country, noting that the league did not stop last season.
On the other hand, and in the Qatari capital, Doha, the Lebanese U-17 team lost to their Qatari counterpart 1-3 in a friendly at the Aspire Stadium. The team’s only goal was scored by Oscar Ghantous in the 55th minute, while Abdulaziz Al-Nuaimi (15), Mubarak Shannan (39) and Ahmed Al-Rawi (81) scored for the Qatar national team.
The Lebanese team will play its second friendly match with the Qatar team on Sunday, November 15.
