Dynamic duo Cartabia and Abdalla lead the way for Shabab Al Ahli

Jeddah: Shabab Al Ahli Dubai head coach Mahdi Ali reserved praise for two-goal hero Federico Cartabia and teenager Harib Abdalla following their noteworthy performances against Ahal FC on Friday. 

The Argentinian, a former Valencia and Deportivo de La Coruña player, scored in the 13th and 44th minutes to bring his tally to five goals in the campaign so far. 
 
He linked-up well with the speedy 19-year-old Abdalla, who assisted both goals and was a constant threat with his darting runs on the left flank as Ahal FC struggled to keep up with his pace.
