4 – 0
“Valentin Atangana broke the deadlock to give Al Ahli the lead, setting the tone for what would become a dominant display. The goal came as Al Ahli were already establishing clear territorial superiority.”
Pivotal“Franck Kessié struck his first goal of the afternoon to double Al Ahli's lead, and with it, effectively began to close the door on any Al Okhdoud comeback. The Ivorian midfielder drove through the middle of a struggling Al Okhdoud defensive structure.”
Pivotal“Kessié completed his brace just seven minutes after his first, hammering home a third to put the match entirely beyond Al Okhdoud. Three goals in 17 minutes had turned a tight game into a rout, and Al Okhdoud had no answer.”
Pivotal“Firas Al-Buraikan completed the scoring with a fourth goal to seal a comprehensive victory, finishing off a move that underlined Al Ahli's sustained dominance across the entire 90 minutes.”

Outstanding performance
Al Ahli•MidfielderAl Ahli were ruthless and clinical, turning a competitive first 25 minutes into a demolition job with three goals in a devastating 17-minute burst before the interval. Atangana opened the scoring on 26 minutes, and then Kessié took over — two goals in seven minutes effectively ended the contest as a competitive fixture. The red card to Al Okhdoud's Hussain Al-Zabdani on the stroke of half-time for a professional foul as the last man compounded the misery for the visitors, who were already three down and now facing the second half with ten men. Al Ahli's statistical superiority was overwhelming: 68 percent possession, 18 shots to Al Okhdoud's three, and a dominance rating of 74 to 37 — this was a performance that left no room for doubt. Firas Al-Buraikan added the fourth on 72 minutes to put a definitive stamp on proceedings, while Al Okhdoud's five saves from their goalkeeper were the only indicator that they attempted any resistance at all.
