Outstanding performance
Al Shabab•MidfielderAl-Qadsiah dominated possession and territory but had to settle for a draw after Ali Al-Azaizeh's clinical double put Al Shabab ahead in the second half. Despite controlling 64% of possession and registering 25 shots to Al Shabab's 12, Al-Qadsiah's wastefulness in front of goal nearly cost them as they squandered 6 big chances. Mateo Retegui's 75th-minute equalizer rescued a point for the hosts, who then saw Wesley Hoedt receive a red card for dissent moments later. The result continues Al-Qadsiah's inconsistent form despite their statistical dominance, while Al Shabab showed impressive counter-attacking efficiency to earn a valuable point on the road.
How entertaining was this match?
Fourth-placed Al-Qadsiah welcome relegation-threatened Al Shabab in the Eastern Derby at Prince Mohamed bin Fahd Stadium. The hosts are in excellent form and heavily favored against visitors enduring their worst run in club history.
