Al-Wahda, which had lost in the opening match against “Riyadh” with a goal without a response, raised its score to 6 points, and the balance of “Al-Ta’i” was frozen at 3 points.
And “Al-Wahda” got a penalty kick that was executed by Moroccan Fajr Strong, to the right of goalkeeper Braga, in the 34th minute, before the guest team’s goalkeeper Abdel Quddus Attia saved his goal from an accomplished goal when he tackled the Dutchman Virgil Mesidjan’s ball, before the end of the first half (45).
With the start of the second half, Al-Wahda missed an opportunity when Hazza Al-Ghamdi received a cross that he played in the wrong way, instead of putting it into the goal, and Al-Taie responded by Ghanaian Bernard Mensah, who shot a powerful ball that crossed the crossbar.

And from a ball that the defense of “Al-Ta’i” failed to clear, Al-Wahda strengthened its lead with a second goal, when Saeed Al-Mawlid followed the ball into the goal in the 62nd minute, so that the latter found himself facing goalkeeper Braga again, but it was not successful.
And the play continued a debate between the two teams until the counted time instead of the injury, during which “Al-Wahda” managed to score the third, when substitute Ighalo received a ball inside the penalty area, which he played into the net, as a third goal for his “Al-Wahda” team.
