Al Ettifaq left Al-Hazm Club Stadium with a 3-0 win over Al Kholood on Saturday, and the match was settled by two goals in the space of five minutes around half-time.
Khalid Al-Ghannam scored the first in stoppage time at the end of the first half (45+3) and added a second at 47 minutes, almost straight after the restart. Al Kholood never recovered from that. Bersant Celina made it three from the penalty spot in the 78th minute.
