Final Result: Al Shabab 2 - 0 Al-Fateh
What a match! Al Shabab, playing at Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium in Riyadh, completely outplayed Al-Fateh in a dominant display. Al Shabab took control of the game in the second half, scoring twice. The first goal came in the 52nd minute from Abdullah Al Fahad and the second, a penalty, came from Heberty in the 77th minute.
The game was a captivating back-and-forth affair. Al Shabab possessed the ball more consistently throughout the match, recording 50% possession. They generated numerous chances, with 14 shots in total; 6 of them on goal. Al-Fateh, on the other hand, put up a valiant fight, despite being outshot. Their shots were primarily outside the box. While Al-Fateh had 4 total shots, the most exciting moments came in the second half, when substitutions for both teams brought new energy and tactics.
Al Shabab's strategy was clear: to control the midfield and exploit their attacking opportunities. The substitutions seemed to ignite their attacking and defensive performances. On the other hand, Al-Fateh approached the game with a more defensive approach, aiming to counter-attack. While the strategy wasn't successful in terms of goals, the match wasn't without some nail-biting moments!
This victory significantly strengthens Al Shabab's position in the Pro League standings. A well-deserved win, showcasing their attacking prowess and defensive resilience.
