Al-Faisaly and Al-Hazem played out a goalless draw at Al Majma'a Sport City on Saturday, 5 September 2026, with the game finishing 0-0 after both sides went in level at the break. Al-Hazem probably shaded it in terms of chances created, racking up 13 shots to their hosts' 6, though clean efforts on target were harder to come by for either team. Al-Faisaly stood firm when it mattered, and Fernando Pacheco was central to that resistance, doing enough to pick up the Man of the Match award with a rating of 7.35. Neither side could find the breakthrough despite Al-Hazem's extra share of possession and a healthy edge in corners, seven to three. It was that sort of afternoon - plenty of pressure from the visitors, not much end product, and a home defence that refused to crack. A point apiece keeps both clubs ticking along without doing much damage or much good, and on this evidence there's work to do in the final third for both.
The Matchup
It finished 0-0 between Al-Faisaly and Al-Hazem at Al Majma'ah Sport City, 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-Faisaly holding 48% 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.
