Al-Arabi secures first win in the Zain Premier League

Al-Arabi’s first football team secured its first victory of the season, defeating Al-Fahaheel Club 2-0 in a match held at Sabah Al-Salem Stadium in Mansuriya, as part of the sixth round of the Zain Premier League. The Greens surprised their opponents with a pressing attack early in the match, which resulted in an early goal by Youssef Majed in the fifth minute, following a cross from Zaid Qanbar inside the penalty area, allowing Majed to fire the ball into the net of Al-Fahaheel’s goalkeeper, Ali Fadel. Al-Arabi did not take long to double their lead, as Ethiopian international Kenan Maliko, a player for Al-Arabi, scored in the eighth minute with a precise header from a cross by Aziz Nasri inside the penalty area, directing the ball into the right corner of Ali Fadel’s goal. The victory marked Al-Arabi’s first appearance under the guidance of Bosnian coach Darko Nestorovic, who has returned to lead the team for the fourth time in recent months, taking charge just a few days ago. The win lifted Al-Arabi’s tally to six points from five matches, with one win, three draws, and one loss, moving them up to eighth place in the league standings.
