“Lazaro Vinicius Marques scores from close range after his initial shot was saved, giving Al-Fayha an early lead against the run of general expectation.”
Pivotal“In the dying moments, Fashion Sakala's effort crashed off the post before Mahmoud Trezeguet reacted quickest to slot home the equalizer.”

Outstanding performance
Al Riyadh•MidfielderAl-Fayha struck early and then spent the rest of the match defending their slender lead, surviving wave after wave of Al Riyadh pressure before conceding deep into stoppage time. Lazaro Vinicius Marques's 16th-minute goal, created from a rebounded shot that Al Riyadh's keeper could only parry, proved the difference for long periods despite Al-Fayha managing just 41% possession and 23 dangerous attacks compared to their opponents' 57. Al Riyadh dominated territory and chances throughout, racking up 17 shots and nine corners to Al-Fayha's 11 and five, but wasteful finishing and resilient defending kept them at bay until Fashion Sakala's thunderous effort came back off the post and substitute Mahmoud Trezeguet pounced to snatch a point. The result leaves Al-Fayha, mired in the relegation zone, still searching for the win that would ease their troubles, while Al Riyadh's inability to convert their dominance into three points will be a frustrating footnote in a match they controlled for 90 minutes.
