Abha vs Al-Khaleej

Abha and Al-Khaleej played out an entertaining 1-1 draw at Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Stadium, with the hosts dominating large spells but ultimately unable to find a winner. Abha controlled possession and created the better chances, registering 15 shots with four finding the target, while their visitors managed just eight attempts with only one on goal. The visitors looked dangerous on the counter-attack though, and they had Anthony Moris to thank for keeping them in it. The Al-Khaleej goalkeeper was named man of the match after a commanding display that frustrated Abha's attacking ambitions. The first half saw both teams strike early, with the scoreline locked at 1-1 before the break. Despite Abha's obvious superiority in territory and chance creation—they also earned five corners to Al-Khaleej's two—they couldn't break through in the second half. It was a frustrating result for the home side, who will feel they should have taken all three points on the balance of play, though they'll take the point as they continue their push up the table.

Abha and Al-Khaleej drew 1-1 at Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Stadium, in a game that could easily have finished either way. Neither team could really take control of the ball for long, with Abha holding 52% possession, close enough to an even split to explain why the game never settled into one side's favour. Both sides had spells on top without ever pulling clear, and the shot count on the day backs up just how tight things were. A draw is rarely the result either team sets out to get, but on this occasion it was a fair reflection of ninety minutes where chances were shared roughly evenly. Below is a closer look at exactly how the numbers from the match broke down.
