The match saw Pedro miss a penalty for the Al-taawoun which was blocked by Uruguayan Martin Campania, the keeper of Riyadh “56”, and the confrontation also saw Abdul Fatah Adam, the attacker of the Al-taawoun, dismissed after a strong intervention on Riyadh’s Birama Toure “62.”
The result raised Riyadh’s balance to 15 points in 12th place “temporarily,” while the Al-taawoun balance froze at 25 points in fifth place.
Al-Asimi hosts Al-Hizmah on Thursday at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Sports City Stadium in Riyadh as part of the 15th round of the Saudi Roshen League, while the al-taawoun comes as a guest on Saturday at the latter’s stadium for the same tour.
