Al-Najma SC vs Damac Club

Al Najma thought they had found a lifeline when Felippe Cardoso fired them ahead in the 51st minute, but Damac had other ideas. The visitors rattled in three unanswered goals to win 3-1 in Buraidah and deliver a devastating blow in this Round 26 relegation battle. Yakou Meite levelled on 64 minutes before Valentin Vada put Damac ahead in the 78th. Jonathan Okita sealed it late with a third in the 85th minute, capping a clinical second-half turnaround. The result lifts Damac to 22 points and gives them precious breathing room in the fight for survival. For Al Najma, rooted to the foot of the table on just eight points, it is a fifth straight defeat — and their hopes of avoiding the drop are fading fast.
