Al Shabab Edges Past Al-Hazm in a Discipline-Heavy Match
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – Al Shabab secured a home victory against Al-Hazm in a match played at the Al-Shabab Club Stadium, corresponding to the second round of the Pro League regular season. The match, officiated by referee Majed Mohammed Al-Shamrani, ended with a score in favor of the home team.
Al Shabab dominated possession, holding 59% of the ball. Despite their dominance, the match was marked by frequent interruptions due to numerous fouls committed by both teams (14 by Al Shabab and 10 by Al-Hazm). Discipline was a key factor, especially for Al-Hazm, who suffered the expulsion of A. Al Nakhli after accumulating two yellow cards in the first half.
The only goal of the match came in the 64th minute, scored by Y. Carrasco, assisted by A. Hamdallah, giving Al Shabab the decisive lead. Although Al Shabab generated more scoring opportunities, with 13 total shots (3 on target), the Al-Hazm defense, despite playing with one man less for a large part of the match, managed to keep the score tight. Al-Hazm, with 41% possession, could only generate two shots, one of them directed at goal. The match ended with Al Shabab’s victory, consolidating their position in the Pro League.
