Match Report

Al Ettifaq made the long trip to Najran pay off with a commanding 3-1 victory over Al Okhdood on Matchday 30, capped by a late effort from captain Georginio Wijnaldum to put the result beyond any doubt. Álvaro Medrán broke the deadlock in first-half stoppage time (45+1'), only for Juan Pedroza to drag Al Okhdood level on the hour mark and briefly raise hopes of a point. Those hopes faded quickly — Khalid Al-Ghannam, who earned player-of-the-match honours with a goal and an assist, restored Al Ettifaq's lead in the 74th minute, and Wijnaldum swept in a third on 79 minutes to settle it. Francisco Calvo was booked for the hosts early on, but the match was otherwise short on controversy. The loss leaves Al Okhdood deep in relegation trouble with the season nearly over, while Al Ettifaq move on with confidence, reinforcing their comfortable mid-table standing.
