Bahla claimed a 3-1 victory over Sur in the third round of the Professional League on Friday, a result that leaves both sides still searching for their first points of the campaign. The hosts took an early lead, but the visitors turned the game on its head after the break. By then, the pattern was clear enough — Bahla controlled possession and created the clearer chances.
Sur opened the scoring at the 17th minute, a moment that gave them hope before the visitors responded. Bahla equalised in the 53rd minute, then took the lead in the 61st, and added a third in the 86th to close the game out. The hosts paid for a sloppy opening, and once the visitors felt the pressure lift, they carved the defence open with ease.
The statistics tell the story without embellishment. Bahla held two-thirds of possession and registered six shots on target compared to Sur's single attempt on goal. The hosts generated more attacks overall — 102 to 168 — but efficiency matters more than volume, and Sur's shooting accuracy of 20 per cent left them with nothing to show for their work.
Both teams remain winless after two matches, with Sur holding 12th place and Bahla 13th, each with zero points and a negative goal difference. The result extends a run of defeats for both sides, though Bahla's away performance suggests they are beginning to find their feet. The history between them adds an edge to future meetings, but for now the table says little more than who has struggled most so far.
