Al Kunaydiri, then in the 87th minute, Victor Ruiz sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Anthony Nwakaeme earning Al Feiha at least a draw. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 2 of their last 10, while 1st placed Al Shabab is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Al Adalh. Carlos scored the first goal for Al Shabab in the 3rd minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Al Adalh couldn’t muster any offence and Al Shabab ran away with the shutout win. With 18 points in their last 10 matches Al Shabab should be reasonably happy with their performance.

Carlos has been on a hot streak lately. In the last five games, the attacker has scored 4 goals for Al Shabab. Al Feiha is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Victor Ruiz and Sultan Madash each only have 1 goal in their last five.
