Al-Ettifaq Club vs Al-Najma SC

Al Ettifaq and Al Najma played out a goalless draw at EGO Stadium on Monday in Round 31 of the Saudi Pro League, with Al Najma goalkeeper Victor Braga the standout performer — earning player-of-the-match honours with an 8.8 rating after a commanding display that kept the hosts at bay. Al Ettifaq dominated throughout, controlling 60% of possession and firing 21 shots with an xG of 1.58, but they could not break down the resolute Braga. Four yellow cards provided the only real drama: Lázaro was booked in the 12th minute, N. A. Haleel followed in the 21st, and N. Donga was cautioned just before half-time. Á. Medlán picked up a late booking deep in stoppage time. No penalties or red cards. The result is a frustrating one for Al Ettifaq, who squandered a dominant home performance and dropped two points they will feel they deserved. Al Najma, meanwhile, earned a hard-fought point against a superior side to bolster their own standing in the Saudi Pro League.
