Al Ittihad•DefenderAl Ittihad secured a crucial 2-1 victory over Al-Fayha in a match that showcased their resilience and depth. After Youssef En-Nesyri's well-taken opener gave the hosts a deserved first-half lead, Fashion Sakala's equalizer just 10 minutes into the second half threatened to derail their momentum. However, manager Nuno Espírito Santo's tactical adjustments proved decisive, with the introduction of fresh legs in Moussa Diaby and Awad Al-Nashri immediately after the equalizer providing the spark needed. Hassan Kadesh emerged as the unlikely hero, converting the winner with seven minutes remaining to move Al Ittihad further clear of the relegation zone and continue their recent upturn in form.
