Youssef El Arabi (16), Nam Tae-hee (39), Ismail Mohammad (48) and Almoez Ali (55) were on target for Al Duhail who gained a massive advantage in yester- day’s away match ahead of their second leg clash which will take place in Doha on May 15. The unbeaten Qatari side was in control from the beginning of the game. Several attempts were made by Al Duhail’s Karim Boudiaf, Mohammad and Tae- hee, but El Arabi was the first to open the scoring the visitors. In the 16th minute, El Arabi headed the ball from the centre of the box but was saved by the Al Ain goalkeeper Khalid Eisa. However, the ball was picked up by Ali who passed it through to El Arabi who found the net this time with a left-footed shot from the same spot to the bottom right corner. The South Korean star Tae-hee doubled their lead in the 39th minute when he almost single-handedly carried the ball from his own box after a fast Al Ain’s Khalid Eisa (left) reacts as Al Duhail’s Almoez Ali celebrates his goal during the AFC Champions League match played at the Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium in Al Ain, break to the opposite end of the United Arab Emirates yesterday. pitch and beat the goalkeeper.

    Revealing Roles : ωϭοϭϣϟ΍ϡγ΍ How Sports Reflect Middle East¶s Political : ωϭοϭϣϟ΍ϥ΍ϭϧϋ Interactions 06/03/2018 : έηϧϟ΍ΦϳέΎΗ ΔϣΩϘΗϣϟ΍ΕΎγ΍έΩϟ΍ϭΙΎΣΑϸϟϝΑϘΗγϣϟ΍ίϛέϣ : ΏΗΎϛϟ΍ϡγ΍ : ωϭοϭϣϟ΍ Sports are being used by governments in the Middle East to serve political purposes and impact public opinion. The trend emerged clearly in the past months. Sports reflected strained relations between states and were used to either highlight political convergence between friendly states, reiterate the role of mediating states as hosts for matches between disputing states, deny political legitimacy of adversaries, reaffirm the legitimacy of authoritarian political systems, bolster the role of certain social groups or gain a symbolic international stature. The influence of sports on interactions in the Middle East has expanded in varying degrees. The reason is that sports, as a social phenomenon, has a wide cross-border fan base and is focused on satisfying the audiences' inclination to indulge in competition and victory, so much so that the twentieth century has become to be known as the century of sports. This situation is not specific to the Middle East. Rather, sports, which morphed into an influential phenomenon impacting the entire international political system, and became a tool used by states to implement their foreign policy objectives and promote political visions and strategies. Lord Killanin, who once headed the International Olympic Committee admitted that ³sport is intertwined with politics.´States use sports to achieve their goals of convergence or divergence with other states, which reflect on their relations. Athletes participate in games as representatives of their home countries and not as individuals, because competition with teams from other countries is deeply seated in a sense of national pride.
