Al Tadhamon — Al Salmiyah SC, Premier League

Al-Tadhamon lost 0:2 to Al-Salmiya in the Premier League on 1 September 2026. The visitors took control early, scoring twice in a ten-minute spell that left the hosts chasing.

The first goal came at the 36th minute, and the second followed five minutes later at 41. By then, Al-Tadhamon had little to respond with.

And here's the thing about the statistics. Al-Salmiya held 51 per cent possession and fired eight shots on target, while Al-Tadhamon managed only seven despite having 49 per cent of the ball. Two goals from fifteen attempts tells you everything you need to know.

Both sides enter this round having dropped points in their opening fixtures. Al-Tadhamon had lost 1:3 to Al-Shabab back in June, and Al-Salmiya fell 1:2 to Al-Nasr on 26 August. Neither side has tasted victory yet.

The result keeps both teams level on zero points after two games.
