JEDDAH – Al-Shabab continued chasing the Zain Saudi Professional League leader with a 1-0 win over Najran at the Prince Faisal Bin Fahd Stadium Wednesday.
Striker Nasser Al-Shamrani scored the lone goal to help Shabab increase its tally to 29 points, three behind leader Al-Hilal.
The Libyan midfielder Tariq Al-Ta’ib passed the ball behind the defenders to the advancing Al-Shamrani who kicked it over the goalkeeper, Jaber Al-Amery, in the 18th minute.
Although Shabab dominated the match, it failed to increase the lead since Najran keeper was also at his best.
Najran performance improved in the last 10 minutes but its players could not change the result. Najran sits 10th in the league standing with seven points. The team has a difficult match against Hilal, whose coach Eric Gerets was present at the match taking notes.
In another match at the Prince Mohammed Bin Fahd Stadium, Al-Wehdah beat ten-man Al-Ittifaq 3-1 to remove Al-Ahli from the fourth place.
