Al-Fateh Cruise to Victory Over Al-Ittihad FC!
A dominant performance from Al-Fateh saw them defeat Al-Ittihad FC 2-0 at Prince Abdullah bin Jalawi Stadium. The home side controlled the match, with 70% possession, and registered more shots (18) on goal. They were particularly effective in the final third, creating plenty of chances.
Al-Fateh's two goals came at crucial moments. A well-worked play resulted in the first, while the second was a lovely finish by Vargas after a strong team display from the start of the match.
Al-Ittihad struggled to match Al-Fateh's intensity. Their possession was limited, with just 30%, and their attack often lacked the sharpness to penetrate the Al-Fateh defence. The substitution of players in both teams shows some interesting tactics employed in a key moment of the game, with a few late substitutions for both teams, but ultimately Al-Fateh were able to close out the game to secure their victory. The game had some tense moments, with some yellow cards issued to both teams, and missed penalties from both sides.
Al-Fateh deserved their victory, displaying a clinical approach and taking their chances well. Al-Ittihad, despite some late substitutions, struggled to make an impact, highlighting the gap in quality between the two sides today.
