Al-Qadsia Defeats Al-Tadamun.. Kuwait Crushes Al-Nasr

Al-Qadsia’s first football team secured a valuable 2-0 victory over Al-Tadamun in a match played yesterday at Al-Tadamun Stadium, as part of the fourth round of the Zain Premier League. The round kicked off the day before with a dominant 7-1 win for Al-Kuwait over Al-Nasr, while Al-Arabi drew 1-1 with Kazma. The round concludes today with two matches: Al-Fahaheel versus Al-Sahel at Al-Shabab Stadium, and Al-Jahra against Al-Salibikhaat at Naif Al-Dabous Stadium in Al-Fahaheel.

An important win for the Yellow team: Al-Qadsia moved up to second place in the league table after defeating hosts Al-Tadamun 2-0, with goals scored by Moroccan Ayoub El-Kaabi and Abdullah Mutawa across the two halves. The victory brought Al-Qadsia’s tally to nine points from three wins and one loss, the defeat coming against league leaders Al-Kuwait, who sit alone at the top with ten points from four matches.

Under the guidance of national coach Mohammed Ibrahim, Al-Qadsia dominated Al-Tadamun from the start, taking the lead in the 16th minute through an El-Kaabi strike that found the back of the net. Mutawa, returning from injury, doubled the lead in the 82nd minute with a powerful long-range shot.

Al-Kuwait’s “heptuple” at Ali Al-Sabah Stadium: Al-Kuwait thoroughly overwhelmed hosts Al-Nasr, who were no match for their opponents’ superior capabilities, securing all three points. Al-Kuwait’s goals were scored by Bahraini Mohammed Marhoon in the 26th minute, Ali Hussein in the 57th, Taha Al-Kheneisi with two goals in the 64th and 65th minutes, Ahmed Al-Dhafiri in the 73rd, Faisal Zayed in the 84th, and Amr Abdel Fattah in the 88th. Al-Nasr’s only goal came from an own goal by Al-Kuwait defender Omar Gonzalez in the 54th minute.

Al-Arabi shares a point with Al-Kazma: Al-Arabi drew with Kazma at the Peace Stadium on the first day of the round’s fixtures. The Orange side took the lead in the 20th minute through a header by Shuaib Al-Khalidi, ending the first half with Kazma ahead. In the second half, Al-Arabi created several chances, eventually equalizing in the 85th minute via a header by Ali Al-Dokhi, ending the match in a draw.

With this result, Kazma moved to eight points, sitting third in the table behind Al-Kuwait and Al-Qadsia, who occupy first and second place respectively. Al-Arabi’s tally rose to three points from four league matches played so far.
