The Coast pulls away in the first division

Al-Sahel maintained their lead at the top of the First Division “Zain League,” which resumed from last season, after defeating Al-Jazira 2-0 and seeing their rivals, Al-Yarmouk and Al-Salhiyah, draw 1-1, in two matches that witnessed great excitement in their final moments on Friday, as part of the 19th round.

“Abu Hailifa’s sons” came close to securing one of the two promotion tickets to the Premier League for the new season, having increased their tally to 43 points, three points clear of Al-Salhiyah and Al-Yarmouk, who will face them in consecutive matches in the remaining two rounds.

Al-Sahel had to wait until stoppage time to score their two goals, through Brazilian N.D. Sousa from a penalty kick (90+7) and Ghazi Al-Otaibi (90+12).
