Al-Taawoun team secured a valuable 2-0 victory over their guests Al-Shabab in the match between them as part of the 14th round of the Saudi Professional League.

The goals came through Colombian Roger Martinez in the 27th minute, before the Frenchman Angelo Fulgini extended the lead with a second goal in added time of the first half.

Al-Taawoun increased their tally to 31 points, securing third place in the Roshn League standings, closely contesting Al-Nassr for second place by goal difference alone.

On the other hand, Al-Shabab's points remained frozen at 8, keeping them in fifteenth place as they continue their poor performance in the current season of the Saudi League.

The match witnessed a significant sending-off when the referee showed a red card to Mohammed Al-Shuwairikh, Al-Shabab's defender, after he prevented Roger Martinez from having a one-on-one opportunity with goalkeeper Marcelo Grohe.

Al-Taawoun benefited from Al-Nassr's setback, as Al-Nassr lost to Al-Qadisiyah 2-1, keeping their total at 31 points in second place, giving Al-Hilal the opportunity to extend their lead at the top.

Al Hilal maintained first place after winning against Al Hazem with a score of 3-0, raising their total to 35 points, while Al Hazem's points remained at 13, placing them in eleventh position.
