Week 9 brings us a match on Dec 15th, where Al Taawon plays host to Al Adalh in a clash of these two mismatched Pro League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 26 degrees, which is great football weather. Al Taawon is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Al Ittifaq. Saad Fahad Al Nasser struck first for Al Taawon in the 18th minute on a feed from Alejandro Romero Gamarra, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Al Ittifaq couldn’t muster any offence and Al Taawon ran away with the shutout win. With 19 points in their last 10 matches Al Taawon should be reasonably happy with their performance, while 13th placed Al Adalh is fresh off their 0-2 loss against Dhamk. El Arbi Hillel Soudani struck first for Dhamk in the 45th minute, then Nono added another in the 58th minute on a feed from Abdullah Khalid Al Ammar At the end of 90 a dissapointed Al Adalh couldn’t manage to score, and Dhamk took the shutout win. Al Adalh looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 6 points in their last 10 matches.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season.
