The Saudi Al-Shabab team surprised its guest, Al-Ittihad, and beat it with an unanswered goal in a match within the 12th week of the Roshan Professional League.
With this result, Al-Shabab achieved its fourth victory this season, while Al-Ittihad was defeated for the third time.
Carlos Junior scored the only goal of the match and the winning goal in the 13th minute of the first half after he followed a cross and jumped on it to put it into the net of Al-Nasr, which failed to compensate throughout the match.

Al-Shabab almost doubled the score in the 48th minute, but the match referee decided to award a penalty kick after returning to video technology and decided not to give Al-Shabab the opportunity to double the score.
The referee took approximately two and a half minutes to review the shot. Until he returned and canceled the penalty kick, under the pretext that the challenge between Carrasco and Faisal Al-Ghamdi, the star of Al-Ittihad Club, was normal.
