Al Fayha vs Al Ittifaq

Al Fayha secured a gritty 1-0 victory over Al Ettifaq at Al Majma'a Sport City Stadium, with Alfa Semedo netting the only goal of the game in the first half. Semedo struck in the 21st minute to hand the hosts an early lead, and Al Fayha never looked back. Despite seeing just 34% of possession and being pinned back for long spells, they held firm, restricting Al Ettifaq to only three shots on target from 12 attempts. It was a masterclass in defensive resolve from the home side, who now have 33 points after back-to-back wins following last week's 5-0 thrashing of Al Okhdood. For Al Ettifaq, stuck on 39 points in seventh, it was another frustrating afternoon where dominance of the ball counted for nothing.
