February 24th features a match where Abha hosts Al Wahda in a clash of these two closely matched Pro League teams.

Éver Banega scored the first goal for Al Shabab in the 22nd minute, then Carlos added another in the 56th minute In the end, Abha was frustrated by Al Shabab’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Al Shabab ended the match with the shutout victory.

In their last match together, in King Abdul Aziz Stadium, Al Wahda won by a score of 1 to 0. Saad Natiq scored the first goal for Al Wahda on an own goal in the 49th minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster At the end of 90 a dissapointed Abha couldn’t manage to score, and Al Wahda took the shutout win.
Gerson Rodrigues and Hejji are the top scorers for Al Wahda in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal.. Abha’s top weapon lately has been Alsadi, who has 2 goals in the last 5 matches.
