The home side took the lead through a Miranda goal in the thirteenth minute, and it looked like they might hold on until Sesugh equalised shortly after the half-hour mark. To be fair, the visitors had been patient in building their attack, and that patience was rewarded when Sesugh found the net in the twenty-ninth minute. By then, the game had already seen several yellow cards — Al Ibrahim for the hosts in the ninth minute, Avornyo for the visitors just after the quarter-hour mark, and then a pair of bookings for Al Basha and Al Tarif before the break.
The second half brought a flurry of substitutions from both managers. Al-Adalah brought on Al Nattar and Al Muziel together in the sixtieth minute, while Al-Saqer responded with changes for Assehnoun and Al Mousa on the hour. There was a solitary change for Al-Adalah at the seventy-eighth minute before the visitors made three substitutions in quick succession around the eighty-fifth minute — Saeed, Avornyo and Joao Erick all came off, and Sesugh was replaced shortly after.
Statistics showed a evenly-contested affair. Both sides enjoyed fifty per cent possession, though the visitors registered four shots on target compared to the hosts' two. Al-Adalah generated more attacks overall — ninety-seven to eighty-one — and earned five corners to their opponents' single effort. The away side had more free kicks — fourteen against seven — which suggested they were being fouled more frequently in dangerous areas.
The result leaves Al-Adalah sixth in the table with four points from three games, while Al-Saqer remain twelfth with three points from three draws. The hosts have now won one, lost one and drawn one — a mixed start to the campaign. The visitors, meanwhile, have shown resilience in not losing any of their opening three matches, even if they have yet to find the breakthrough that would take them into the win column.
**Final Result: Al-Adalah 1-1 Al-Saqer**
