In the King's Cup quarterfinals on Wednesday (15), top team Ainas edged out a weaker team, Abha, by a score of 3-1 to enter the quarterfinals of the King's Cup. However, the team's star Cron was again unable to score, and even kicked the ball away in anger because he was dissatisfied with the referee's decision, which not only led to him being shown a yellow card, but also seriously affected his game form.
Despite the difference in strength between the two teams, Ainas showed strong offensive power at the beginning of the game. Just 10 seconds into the game, midfielder Sammy Aina scored a goal on a quick counterattack to open the scoring in lightning speed. In the 21st minute, Abdullah Al Qabbani added a second to make it 2-0, and in the second half, Mohammed Maran added the icing on the cake to make it 3-0, while Ebba Hah finally broke the deadlock in the second half to save some face.
Nevertheless, Cron was unlucky with his shots, failing to hit the target with all his five attempts, and had only 34 touches on the ball in the match. Worse still, in the first half of extra time, he expressed his dissatisfaction with the referee's decision and kicked the ball out in an agitated manner, resulting in a yellow card being shown to him, an outburst that undoubtedly dealt a major blow to his personal image.
