“Mory Konaté booked for a foul as tensions rose just before halftime.”
“Double change at the break as both managers look to shift momentum with fresh legs, Flávio and Hussain Al-Zarie introduced.”
“Abdulrahman Al-Dakheel booked late as Al Hazm continue searching desperately for a breakthrough.”

Al Hazm
Outstanding performance
Al Hazm•MidfielderAl Hazm dominated the game statistically, controlling 68% of the dominance metric, doubling Al Faisaly's shot count and creating far more danger going forward, yet couldn't turn that pressure into a breakthrough. Al Faisaly leaned heavily on defensive discipline, racking up 21 tackles to Al Hazm's 7, sitting deep and absorbing pressure while offering little in attack themselves. The match was littered with stoppages, seven yellow cards and a flurry of second-half substitutions from both managers as they searched for a way to break the deadlock, but clear-cut chances remained rare despite the high volume of attacking play from the away side. For Al Hazm, this will feel like two points dropped given their control of the game, while Al Faisaly can take some encouragement from grinding out a result against a side pressing for a title race position.
