Our Tunisian player Ferjani Sassi described the team’s victory this evening over Al Markhiya in Round 14 of the league as important, and the player said in a statement after the end of the match: Thanks Allah, the team succeeded in achieving a very important victory that came after we were behind in the result, but the players succeeded in returning in the game.

Sassi said: Today’s victory will raise our spirits, especially ahead of an important match in the AFC Champions League versus Al Rayyan, and will make us prepare ourselves well for this match.

Sassi concluded: We lacked the concentration in the first half of the match, although the coaching staff spoke with us a lot during the preparations for this confrontation, that we must move away from thinking about the AFC Champions League, but thank Allah we made up for it in the second half and achieved victory.
