JEDDAH – Al-Shabab recorded an important 3-0 win over its host Al-Qadsiyyah in Round 11 of the Saudi Zain Professional League at Prince Saudi Bin Jalawi Sports City Wednesday.
Angolan striker, Amado Flavio put Al-Shabab in the lead in the 71st minute. Eight minutes later, Nasser Al-Shamrani increased the lead before the Angolan Flavio sealed the win in the 91st minute.
Both Al-Shabab and Al-Hilal have now 26 points each, but the former is second in the standing with a six-goal difference. However, the league leader has a tough match against title holder Al-Ittihad Thursday.
Al-Nasr, on the other hand, played to a goalless draw with host Al-Ra’id at King Abdullah Sports City in Buraidah.
Unlike Al-Nasr, Al-Ra’id, with six points in the bottom of the list, put up a good performance and threatened its opponent’s goal several times.
The five draws of Al-Nasr have raised a big question mark over the ability of the team. The team is now sixth in the standing with 11 points and two matches in hand.
In another match, Al-Wehdah made a big leap to the fourth place after winning over its host Al-Hazm 2-1 at Al-Hazm Club Stadium. Waleed Al-Jaizani scored in the 10th minute for the host. The host succeeded to end the first half with that result.
In the 74th minute, Moroccan striker of Al-Wehdah, Yousuf Kaddioui, scored the equalizer before Mohammed Al-Kaltham, defender of Al-Hazm, scored an own goal in the 83rd minute.
Al-Hazm is eighth with 11 points. Each team still has one match in hand.
