Al-Taawoun vs Al-Khaleej

Al-Taawoun and Al-Khaleej played out a goalless stalemate at Alinma Stadium, with neither side able to find the breakthrough despite decent chances at either end. The home team controlled possession with 53% of the ball and had the better volume of shots, registering 12 attempts compared to their visitors' nine. Where it mattered most in front of goal, though, the picture was different—Al-Khaleej's six shots on target proved harder to convert than Al-Taawoun's three, keeping the scoreline locked at 0-0 throughout. The draw leaves both teams with a point, though Al-Taawoun will probably feel they should have made their dominance count. Al-Khaleej had Anthony Moris to thank for keeping them in the game; the goalkeeper was outstanding throughout and earned the official man of the match rating for his performance. Corner count favored the hosts as well, with six set-piece opportunities against four, but Al-Taawoun couldn't capitalize on any of them.

It finished 0-0 between Al-Taawoun and Al-Khaleej at Alinma Stadium, a scoreline that summed up a game short on clear separation between the two sides.

There were spells of pressure from both teams, but not enough to turn a share of the points into all three.
