Damac Club vs Al-Qadsiah

A frantic two-minute spell just before the break defined this Saudi Pro League clash, as Damac and Al Qadsiah shared a 1-1 draw in Abha on Thursday — leaving both sides with mixed feelings. Nahitan Nandez gave the visitors the lead in the 35th minute, finishing a Christopher Bonsu Baah assist to put Al Qadsiah in front. Damac responded within two minutes: Valentin Vada converted a Jonathan Okita cross in the 37th to level immediately. No red cards or penalties marred the contest, though Damac's Ibrahim Mahnashi and Nandez both saw yellow in the second half. Al Qadsiah pushed hard for a winner — Mateo Retegui threatened with three shots on goal and the visitors earned 12 corners — but couldn't break through. Fourth-placed Al Qadsiah drop two points in the race for an Asian berth, while relegation-threatened Damac take their hard-earned point and move on.
