Al-gharafa B 0:1 Muaither SC: Match Result

Match report

Al-Muithir snatched a victory at the death to move off the bottom of the table, beating El-Gharafa B 1-0 in the second division on Monday. The away side took advantage of a late lapse to claim their first win of the campaign, while the hosts remain winless after two matches. The game was largely one-sided in terms of possession and territory, but El-Gharafa B held firm until the final moments. They had just one corner to eight for the visitors, and managed only four shots off target compared to six on target for Al-Muithir. The hosts failed to find the back of the net themselves, registering zero shots on target throughout the contest. There was a moment of drama in the seventy-ninth minute when a goal was disallowed after a VAR review, but it did little to shift the momentum. Al-Muithir continued to press, and their patience paid off in stoppage time when they finally broke through. The goal came at 90+4 minutes, sending the visitors into celebration after a hard-fought ninety minutes. The statistics tell the story of a match where the away side controlled proceedings. Al-Muithir enjoyed two-thirds of possession and created far more clear-cut opportunities. El-Gharafa B, despite having the ball less, kept their shape for most of the game but could only watch as the visitors pulled the strings. After two games, El-Gharafa B sit in tenth place with just one point from a draw and a defeat. Al-Muithir move up to sixth with three points, their five-one win over Al-Rayyan B earlier in the campaign now looking more significant. Both teams have one loss each, but the visitors have finally found a way to turn that into a result. The gap between the two sides remains small, but this win could prove crucial as the season progresses. For El-Gharafa B, it was another frustrating afternoon where they could not find the breakthrough. For Al-Muithir, it was a match they could have lost but instead took all three points when it mattered most.
