“Morlaye Sylla opened the scoring to give Damac the early advantage, punishing Al-Fayha with a clinical finish that set the tone for the evening.”
Pivotal“Mohammed Al-Baqawi picked up a yellow card for a foul, a sign of Al-Fayha's growing frustration as Damac controlled the first half.”
“Abdelkader Bedrane doubled Damac's lead just eight minutes into the second half, effectively ending the contest after Al-Fayha's triple substitution at the break had failed to spark any revival.”
Pivotal“Bedrane completed his brace with a third goal to put an emphatic seal on Damac's victory, sending a clear message to their rivals with a comprehensive scoreline.”

Outstanding performance
Damac FC•DefenderDamac FC produced a composed, controlled performance to dismantle Al-Fayha 3-0, a result that flattered neither side's pre-match expectations. Morlaye Sylla broke the deadlock early in the first half, and despite Al-Fayha enjoying the majority of possession — 55% — they created virtually nothing of substance, registering just one shot on target across 90 minutes. Damac's efficiency told a sharper story: 14 shots, five on target, four big chances created to Al-Fayha's none. The visitors' half-time triple substitution signalled a desperate attempt to shift momentum, but Abdelkader Bedrane made the game safe within eight minutes of the restart, then added a third in the 77th minute to complete a dominant display. For Damac, the three points continue a solid run of form and consolidate their mid-table standing; for Al-Fayha, a toothless attacking display and an inability to convert possession into genuine pressure will be serious cause for concern in the final weeks of the campaign.
