Al-Ittihad dominated for long spells at Prince Abdullah bin Jalawi Stadium but couldn't find a way through, with the game finishing 0-0 on Saturday, 29 August 2026. The visitors had the better of possession and piled forward with 24 shots to the hosts' 11, yet Al-Fateh stood firm and went in level at the break too. Ten corners to one tells you who was camped in the opposition half, but final-third quality was lacking when it mattered. The real story was between the sticks. Adrian Šemper was outstanding for Al-Fateh, pulling off save after save to keep Al-Ittihad at arm's length, and his 9.7 rating for the display was thoroughly deserved. A point apiece won't excite anyone reading the numbers back, but Al-Fateh will feel like they've nicked something here given how one-sided the pressure was. Al-Ittihad will wonder how they didn't turn that dominance into three points.
The Matchup
It finished 0-0 between Al-Fateh and Al-Ittihad at Al Fateh club stadium, a scoreline that summed up a game short on clear separation between the two sides. Neither team could really take control of the ball for long, with Al-Fateh holding 37% possession, close enough to an even split to explain why the game never settled into one side's favour. There were spells of pressure from both teams, but not enough to turn a share of the points into all three. Days like this are part of a long season, and how each side responds in their next fixture will say plenty about their form heading forward. Here is a closer look at how the two teams compared statistically.
