In the early hours of Saturday morning in the Saudi Arabian League, a thrilling game was played. Even though Ainas was trailing for most of the game, and with the help of Crowe, they scored three goals in stoppage time to make a 3-1 comeback and beat Al Baiten. However, Crowe struggled throughout the match, but did not collect any goals or assists, which has led to speculation that this may have something to do with his recent involvement in a sex scandal involving Venezuelan internet star Georgilaya, who he "cheated" on.
Crowe had scored eight goals in his previous four matches, but in this match, his shots seemed to lose their accuracy. In the first 17 minutes of the game, Ainas was put on the back foot and Crowe was expected to turn the game around and help his team to a victory. However, the 38-year-old Portuguese shot-stopper was a major disappointment, failing to score from seven shots, including a lamentable miss from an empty net.
When the game went into extra time, Ainas suddenly came out of nowhere, with Ghalebi, Efatu and Maran scoring a goal each to complete the comeback. It is worth mentioning that the referee extended the extra time for 16 minutes in a rare case due to the many delays of Ebba Tien in the game, which gave Ainas the chance to turn the defeat into a victory. Many netizens even speculated that it was a deliberate attempt to help Crowe win the game, utilizing the "Ferguson time" until Ainas finally won.
