Sohar secured a 3-1 victory against Ibri in the Group Stage - 2 fixture of the English Cup on 25 August 2026. The away side ran out winners at Ibri's home ground, taking all three points from the encounter.
The result represents another step forward for Sohar, who have shown resilience in recent outings. They found a way through despite facing a determined Ibri side looking to build on their home advantage.
By then, both teams had been busy in their previous appearances. Ibri came off a heavy 1-7 defeat to As-Seb on 23 May before recording a 2-0 win over Dhofar two days later. Their form has been uneven, with losses to An-Nastak and Sur breaking up a positive spell.
Sohar's recent record tells a different story. They drew 3-3 with Sur on 23 May and shared the points 2-2 with Saham on 18 May. Those results suggest a team that can score freely but occasionally lets goals slip in both directions.
The victory moves Sohar further ahead in the group standings. With three points in hand, they have opened up a gap over their rivals and will look to maintain momentum in the remaining fixtures.
