알 파이살리 vs 알 하젬

Al-Faisaly and Al Hazem played out a scoreless draw at Al Majma'ah Sports City, with goalkeeper Fernando Pacheco the standout performer for the hosts, pulling off a string of key saves to keep his side level despite being second-best for long spells. The biggest talking point came in the 77th minute when Mohammed Al-Hamdani appeared to win a penalty for the visitors, only for VAR to overturn the decision and preserve the stalemate. Six yellow cards were shown in total, including early bookings for Mohammed Al-Shanqiti and Bonheur Mugisha, but no red cards changed the complexion of the game. Al Hazem edged the underlying numbers, out-shooting their hosts 13-6 with a higher expected-goals tally, yet neither attack could find a breakthrough. The point does little for either side's momentum. Al-Faisaly avoid a second straight defeat after their midweek 3-1 loss, while Al Hazem extend an inconsistent run following a 1-1 draw with Al Shabab, leaving both clubs still searching for their next win.
