The draw with Al-Nasr did not help 'Al-Wasl' in its ambition to reduce the gap with the leaders, despite the team's good performance in the second half. Al-Wasl occupies fourth place in the league standings with 26 points, while Al-Shabab Al-Ahli leads the table with 38 points. Mohamed Ali: We did not aim for a single point from the match against Al-Nasr.. We were only looking for a win. Al-Wasl's goalkeeper Mohamed Ali expressed his dissatisfaction with the 1-1 draw against Al-Nasr in the 15th round of the Saudi Professional League, confirming that the team was aiming for three points to cling to their chances of competing and reduce the gap with league leaders Al-Shabab Al-Ahli, who have a 12-point lead. Ali said: 'We were not aiming for one point.. We were only looking for a win, because the competition now requires three points in every match. We tried and we strove, but this is football, and it was not written for us to win.' He also explained that conceding an early goal made Al-Wasl's task in the 'Derby' more difficult, adding: 'Al-Nasr scored an early goal and then went back to defending, which made things harder. In the second half, we agreed to fight back and we played a great half, created real chances and scored the equalizing goal, but we failed to score the winning goal despite our attempts.' Mohamed Ali sent a direct message to Al-Wasl's fans, reflecting the level of pressure and high ambitions within the club, saying: 'Al-Wasl's fans have the right to be angry.. Al-Wasl's fans are ambitious, and they have every right to be. I don't know what to say to them except to apologize.'
