Al-Hamriyah hosted Fort Virtus in the second round of the Division 1 regular season on 2026-08-30. The home side claimed a 1:0 win, securing their first points of the campaign. By then, the visitors had already proven themselves with a victory over Emirates.
Y. Ezzejjari scored the only goal of the match in the 28th minute. And here's the thing, it was a solitary moment that decided the contest rather than a display of dominance. The visitors' defence failed to respond after going behind, leaving the hosts with a precious three points.
To be fair, Al-Hamriyah entered the day 14th in the table having lost 0:4 to Dibba-Al-Hisn on 2026-08-23. They remain on zero points despite the change in fortune today. Fort Virtus sits 7th after their 2:1 win against Emirates last week. The visitors came into the fixture with confidence from that previous victory.
Al-Hamriyah had suffered defeats in four of their previous five meetings listed in the records. This victory offers a reprieve after the heavy loss to Dibba-Al-Hisn on 2026-08-23. The home side had not won since their earlier clash with Dubai United.
The 1:0 scoreline reflects a narrow margin between the two sides. Al-Hamriyah remains 14th in Division 1 after the result. Fort Virtus holds 7th place with three points on the board.
