Kuwait SC defeated Al-Jahra 1-0 in the match played at Al-Tadamun Stadium on Monday, as part of the fifth round of the Zain Premier League.

The “Orange” team climbed to second place thanks to a goal scored by Bader Tariq from a powerful long-range free kick that Al-Jahra goalkeeper Hamad Al-Khalidi failed to stop in the 20th minute. Kuwait SC then tried to extend their lead throughout the first half but were unsuccessful.

In the second half, Kuwait SC did not give Al-Jahra any chance to threaten their goal and dominated the match, attempting to secure a second goal. However, Kuwait SC players were unable to do so, settling for the single goal that secured all three points for the team.
