التعاون مقابل الاتفاق

Al Taawon were a minute from their first league win of the season at home on Saturday before Al Ettifaq pulled level in a 1-1 draw in the Pro League. Abderrazak Hamdallah put the hosts ahead in the 26th minute from the penalty spot, after a VAR review backed the decision. Al Ettifaq had most of the game, with 16 shots to five and 10 corners to one, according to one match report, but they could not find a way through until the 90th minute. Bersant Celina swung in a corner and Abdullah Khateeb headed home the equaliser. Khalid Al Ghannam had to be replaced through injury in the 37th minute, and both sides finished with bookings. For Al Taawon the draw is another that got away. They have 5 points from 12 games, still without a win, and sit 17th. Al Ettifaq move up to 19 points and 7th place in the table.
