Match Report
Al-Ettifaq beat Al-Riyadh 4-2 in a helter-skelter Pro League clash, with Moussa Dembele stealing the show. The forward's hat-trick, including two penalties, earned him a 9.7 match rating and turned a tight contest into a home win.
Dembele struck first in the 22nd minute, but Teddy Okou leveled deep into first-half stoppage time. A second Dembele penalty on 54' put the hosts back ahead, only for Bernard Mensah to make it 2-2 two minutes later. The tide turned when Rodrigo Abascal was sent off in the 66th minute, and Al-Ettifaq made the extra man count: Rayane Messi struck in the 79th minute before Dembele completed his treble from the spot in stoppage time.
The result highlights Al-Ettifaq's attacking depth and Dembele's growing importance up top, while Al-Riyadh will rue Abascal's red card, which swung an even game firmly in the home side's favor.
