The al-ettifaq swept its western host 50 at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah “Radioactive Jewel.”
Ivorian quarterback Sekou Fofana opened England coach Steven Gerrard’s five battalion in the 5th minute.
French striker Moussa Dembele doubled the team’s lead with a goal, in the 31st minute, from the spot.
Their fellow Cameroonian forward Carl Toko-Ekambi secured three “hat-trick” goals in the 35, 39 and 55 minutes.
The winner’s balance rose to 44 points, moving him to sixth place, narrowing the gap with the al-itthad, which remained fifth, by 50 points, wasting, with Argentine coach Marcelo Giardo, the chance to advance to fourth place, qualified from the Saudi Roshin League to the AFC 2 Champions League, and the Saudi Super Cup.

The al-itthad overcame the al-ettifaq on February 7, 2014, for the 21 round of the 20132014 League.
The match, hosted by Dammam, was the biggest result in the history of previous meetings between the two teams in the Professional League, and the biggest convention loss to the Tigers for the competition itself, given the number of goals received.
After 10 years and 3 months, the al-ettifaq retaliated against the heavier defeat, triumphed with the same number of goals but with a clean sheet, and recorded its name on the biggest win in the history of the parties’ clashes, within the league, by calculating the goal difference between victor and loser.
