Jénès Sports Oman secured a narrow 1:0 victory over Metaoui in their League 1 Regular Season Round 4 fixture on Sunday, 13 September 2026. The hosts held firm at home to claim three crucial points against a side struggling for consistency this campaign.
And here's the thing about the decisive moment — it came in the 39th minute when B. Touati found the net for his team. That single strike proved enough to separate the two sides over ninety minutes of competitive football.
Discipline remained largely intact throughout, with O. Hichri collecting a yellow card in the 28th minute before another booking arrived near the end of the match at 90+4 minutes. Neither side sent anyone off despite the tight nature of the contest.
Coaches made plenty of changes as the game developed, with the first substitution arriving just after the break when O. Chebbi came on in the 46th minute. Double changes followed at 60 minutes — M. Belghith and A. Jouini — and again at 65 minutes as M. Ben Amor replaced B. Touati, the goal scorer himself. More replacements at 76 and 80 minutes, then a double change at 90+2 minutes brought in Gaith and O. Belhaj.
To be fair, the statistics told a story of near-equality. Both sides enjoyed exactly 50% possession, registered three shots on target and six shots off target each, and picked up one yellow card apiece. Where they differed was in attacking volume — Metaoui launched 108 attacks compared to 97 from the hosts, while the hosts won more throw-ins, 26 to 12.
By then the standings had taken shape after four rounds. Jénès Sports Oman sit fifth with seven points from two wins, one draw and one loss. Metaoui remain in 13th place with just three points from a single victory and three defeats, leaving a four-point gap between them.
The result extends a mixed run for the hosts, who have seen results fluctuate since their opening fixtures. Metaoui, meanwhile, continue to search for their first away win of the season after this latest setback on the road.
