الشباب مقابل الفیحاء

Al Shabab and Al Fayha played out a scoreless stalemate at SHG Arena, with the headline moment coming between the posts rather than in front of them. Orlando Mosquera was the difference-maker, turning in a man-of-the-match display in the Al Fayha goal to keep his side level despite being under near-constant siege. The hosts dominated the underlying numbers, racking up 15 shots and 1.41 expected goals to their visitors' 5 shots and 0.52 xG, but could never find the finish to match the pressure. The game had a tetchy finish, with yellow cards shown late to Yago in the 73rd minute, Rayan Enad in the 89th, and Dhari Al Anazi deep into stoppage time as both sides pushed for a winner that never came. For Al Shabab, it's a frustrating share of the points after bossing possession and territory, coming off a 2-3 loss to Al Wehda and still searching for consistency in front of goal. Al Fayha, fresh off a 1-2 defeat to Neom SC, will be far happier, riding Mosquera's heroics to a hard-earned point on the road.
