Al-Qadsiah made home advantage count at Prince Saud bin Jalawi Stadium, seeing off Al-Faisaly 3-1 in Sunday's Saudi Pro League clash. The hosts were the sharper side from the off and led 2-1 at the break, dominating the ball at 57% possession and forcing the pace with 17 shots to their visitors' 5. Musab Al Juwayr was at the heart of everything good about Al-Qadsiah's play, picking up the man of the match award with a rating of 8.6 for a performance that pulled the strings throughout. Al-Faisaly had their moments early on and stayed in the contest at half-time, but they couldn't live with the pressure applied after the break. Only 2 of their 5 shots tested the keeper, compared to 9 from Al-Qadsiah, and that gulf told in the end. Three points move Al-Qadsiah's campaign in the right direction, while Al-Faisaly will need to sharpen up going forward if they're to avoid similar frustrations next time out.
