Al-Ettifaq beat Al-Kholood with three goals

Khalid Al-Ghannam opened the scoring for Al-Ettifaq in stoppage time of the first half, specifically in the 3rd minute of added time, before the same player found the net again at the start of the second half in the 47th minute.

Bersant Celina scored the third goal for Al-Ettifaq from a penalty in the 78th minute, confirming his team's superiority and sealing the match with a three-goal haul away from home.

The match saw a worrying development for Al-Ettifaq as their French striker Moussa Dembélé suffered an injury, forcing the coaching staff to substitute him after just about 30 minutes of his participation in the encounter.

Al-Ettifaq has moved up to 7th place in the Saudi Pro League standings with this victory, bringing their points total to 18, benefiting from their three-goal win away from home.

In contrast, Al-Kholood remains at 12 points, settling in ninth place in the table after losing to Al-Ettifaq by three goals to nil.
