What a game! Al Shabab emerged victorious over Al-Fateh in a nail-biting encounter at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium. The final score: Al Shabab 2 - Al-Fateh 1.
Al Shabab, playing with a 4-1-4-1 formation, dominated the second half, showcasing their tactical flexibility. They managed 45% of possession and fired 17 shots, with 4 on target. Al-Fateh, despite a strong start, struggled to maintain momentum. The visitors managed 55% of possession, but only 4 of their 17 shots were on target.
The most exciting moments came in the second half. A penalty in the 35th minute for Al-Fateh gave them an early lead. Then, in a flash, Al Shabab struck back twice. In the 51st minute, a well-worked move led to a great goal scored by C. Guanca. Shortly after, in the 48th minute, Mohammed Diop added a second goal for Al Shabab.
Al Shabab's approach seemed to be all about controlling the game in the second half, focusing on keeping the ball and creating space for their attacking players. Al-Fateh, it appeared, were trying to counter-attack effectively, utilizing quick passing. Both teams showed some tactical substitutions to give them an edge. Several yellow cards were given out in the match, particularly in the final stages.
A hard-fought victory for Al Shabab! They played with intensity and composure to earn the three points!
