German Matthias Jaissle, the coach of Al-Ahli Jeddah, commented on his team's thrilling 4-3 victory against Shabab Al-Ahli in the eighth and final round of the league stage of the AFC Champions League for the elite, in the match held at Prince Abdullah Al-Faisal Stadium in Jeddah.

The match saw Al Ahly leading 3-0 in the first half, before substitute Saleh Abu Al-Shamat extended the lead with a fourth goal from a penalty kick at the start of the second half. Meanwhile, the Emirati team came back by scoring three consecutive goals but was unable to equalize.

In his statements after the match, Yaislah said: "If I had thought two hours before the match that I could win with this result, it would have been more difficult for us."

He added: "We benefited from this match in the rotation process and resting some players, but we must work on not conceding three goals."

The Al-Ahly coach concluded his remarks by affirming that the opportunity is available for all players to participate, noting that it depends on the player's mentality and seriousness. This was in response to a question about involving Saleh Abu Al-Shamat, clarifying that the competition within the team is open to everyone.
