Al Riyadh vs Al Fateh SC

Al Riyadh edged past Al Fateh 1-0 at the Prince Turki bin Abdul Aziz Stadium in a tense Saudi Pro League Round 32 contest, with a second-half goal proving the only difference between the two sides. Mamadou Sylla broke the deadlock just two minutes after the restart, finishing off a neat assist from Teddy Lia Okou to hand the hosts the lead they would not relinquish. The match was a feisty affair in the bookings department — Wesley Delgado picked up two yellow cards for Al Fateh, in the 17th and 45th minutes, while Jorge Fernandes and Saeed Baattia were also cautioned. Al Riyadh were not blameless either, with Yoann Barbet, Toze, and Lia Okou all booked. Al Fateh pushed late for an equalizer, with Mourad Batna and Zaydou Youssouf coming close but failing to convert. The three points are a crucial boost for Al Riyadh in their relegation fight, while Al Fateh leave Riyadh empty-handed.
