As time passed, the pace of the match increased slightly, with some limited offensive attempts by both teams, but without a real threat that was barely worth mentioning.

Al-Bidaa took the lead through its player Christian Da Bello in the 8th minute, who took off with the ball and penetrated our team’s penalty box and shot a powerful ball that went into Majed Abdul Latif’s net.
After scoring the lead goal, Al-Bidda continued its relative superiority over the course of the match and missed a clear one-on-one opportunity through its player Bernard Faye, who strangely shot the ball outside the goal.
Our team is trying to adjust its position and enter the match again and attack Al-Bidda’s goal, but it finds strength and high pressure from Al-Bidda’s players on the ball carriers.
Continuous attempts by our team to score the equalizer, but without a real threat to Al-Bidda’s goalkeeper Ahmed Rashwan’s goal.
