Decoration Day for Mighty Al-Ansar 
(May 22, 99) 

Al-Ansar v Al-Burj. (1st v 12th). 
"Beirut Municipal Stadium". Sunday 23/05/1999. 4:45pm. 22nd Week.

This will be a unique an exquisite occasion for Al-Ansar, and all people associated with this prestigious club, to be officially crowned as Lebanon's League Champions for the 11th time in-a-row. 

The fixture is being hailed as just a mere formality between both sides who have sealed their destiny this season: Al-Ansar winners of the competition, and Al-Burj already doomed to the second division a week ago. 

But it's also a fabulous opportunity for the "Greens" to celebrate this trophy in style, before army of their faithful followers, regardless of the immediate impact of the final result. 

As for Al-Burj, a club whose players betrayed last week during the game with Tadamon Tyre, with all the incidents happening on the pitch against the referee, this encounter might prove a fabulous occasion to demonstrate their will to wipe out a really unforgivable behavior which some players have stirred their club to. 

The home side are the hot favorites to claim an easily-expected victory over their opponents of the day, unless Al-Burj can come out with an unlikely surprise to contradict all the expectations. 

The respective fixture between both clubs in the 11th week ended on a bright note for the ultimate league champs, who raced to a large (3-0) win, courtesy of three first-half strikes from Peter Prospar (8'), Mohamed Jawad (24') and Fadi Ayyad (45').
