Tuesday cover: Drawn out affair as Al Wasl hold AGL champions Al Ahli in stalemate



Al Wasl's goalless draw with Al Ahli is the main story on The National Sport front page on Tuesday, November 29.

A crowd of more than 8,500 spectators filled the Zabeel Stadium on Monday night for a Dubai derby that saw the Arabian Gulf League leaders host the reigning champions.

And despite an exciting game of football, the score remained goalless, in no small part down to a pair of misses from Ahli midfielder — and former Wasl player — Habib Fardan.

The National's John McAuley was at the Zabeel Stadium. Here is his match report.
