Gomez Objects to Al-Taawoun's Goal and Describes the Loss as Harsh

José Gomez, the coach of Al-Fateh, expressed his strong objection to the validity of the first goal scored by Al-Taawoun through Gambian Musa Barrow, considering that the goal came after an incorrect throw-in, which affected the course of the match that ended in his team's 2-1 loss.

Al-Fateh entered the match strongly, and Algerian Sofiane Bendebka managed to score the opening goal at the end of the first half, but Al-Taawoun succeeded in turning the result around, stopping Al-Fateh's winning streak that had lasted for three consecutive matches in the league.

After the match, Gomez criticized the decision to count the first goal, asserting that the ball did not fully go out before the throw-in was executed, which made the goal illegal; however, he simultaneously emphasized that he did not wish to hold the refereeing responsible for the loss.

Gomez confirmed that Al-Fateh delivered a distinguished performance for 65 minutes, but he pointed out that his team made naive mistakes that allowed Al-Taawoun to score two goals, which made the result harsh on his team, especially after the strong performance the players exhibited.

With this victory, Al-Taawoun continued its positive results, while Al-Fateh seeks to quickly overcome this loss and return to the winning track in the upcoming rounds, amidst aspirations to maintain its distinguished level this season.
