Al-Sahel and Borgan played out a 0:0 draw in Division 1's Regular Season round 16 on August 2nd. The match ended without goals, which suits neither side particularly well. To be fair, the result reflects what both teams brought rather than any single moment.
Al-Sahel sit second with 44 points from 21 games, while Borgan are sixth on 23 points. By then, the gap between them had already been clear enough in the table. A point each keeps the home side's challenge intact and does little to help the visitors climb.
The hosts had drawn with Haitan 1:1 on July 29th before beating Yarmouk 1:0 three days earlier. They're holding their ground well at home, though they threw bodies in the way against the visitors. The defence kept its shape and that's what matters in a goalless affair.
Borgan's recent form has been harder to read. They lost 0:2 to Al-Jazeera on the 29th and went down 0:1 to Sporty on the 25th. Before that, they drew 2:2 with Shamia and 1:1 with Haitan in February. They held on grimly here, but not much else.
Al-Sahel's 13 wins, five draws and three losses give them a comfortable cushion. Borgan's five wins, eight draws and eight defeats leave them looking over their shoulder. The result doesn't change either position, but it might have shifted something in the rooms.
