Saham — Bahla: 1:0, Professional League

Saham claimed a 1:0 victory over Bahla in the second round of the Professional League, played on 5 September 2026. The hosts broke the deadlock in the sixty-fourth minute to claim their first points of the campaign. Bahla remain winless after two defeats, while Saham move off the bottom of the table.

The decisive moment came when Saham broke through Bahla's defence to score. It was a match that was decided by a single strike, and both sides had chances to extend their lead. The visitors pushed for an equaliser but could not find a way back into it.

The hosts earned two corners to Bahla's four, and the visitors committed one offside while Saham stayed onside.

The win moves Saham into eighth place with three points from two games. Bahla sit in thirteenth position with zero points and two losses, a position that leaves them in a difficult start to the campaign.
