Yarmouk defeated Al-Sahel 2:3 in a Division 1 Regular Season fixture on Wednesday evening. The result means the visitors close the gap on their hosts in the table, moving from four points behind to just one point behind the second-placed side.
Al-Sahel had arrived at the match sitting second with 44 points from 21 games, while Yarmouk occupied third place on 43 points. The visitors came in with mixed recent form, having lost 0:2 to Al-Jazira on their previous outing, while the hosts had ended their run with a 0:0 draw against As-Sulaybikhat.
The outcome extends Al-Sahel's unbeaten sequence in league competition, though they had not won their last two matches. Yarmouk's victory comes after a string of inconsistent results, including defeats to Shamiya and Al-Jazira in their last five outings.
With both clubs having played 21 matches, the standings now see Al-Sahel holding a narrow advantage at the top of the Division 1 table. The result keeps the race for the title within reach for the visitors, who remain within striking distance of the leaders.
