Al-ettifaq team continued to miss victories for the eighth round in a row, after being forced to a 1-1 draw by al-hazm in the final minutes of the match that brought them together for the 19th round of the Saudi Roshen League, at Prince Mohammed bin Fahad Stadium in Dammam.
The East side’s most recent victory dates back to round 11, when they won the al-wehda 3-2 October last, drawing 5 games and losing 3.
The match’s goals were scored by Jamaica’s Demarai Gray at the 70th minute, before Portugal altered Carvalho at the last minute of the original game time, via a penalty.

The teams return to the league competition, which is suspended for 45 days, with the first meetings combining the al-ettifaq and the al-khaleej, and the assurances with Al Faiha on February 15, to account for the 20th round of the competition.
Steven Gerrard, the manager of the al-ettifaq, stated at the post-match press conference about his team’s offensive problems even as Moses Dembley returned:
– The effect was good but if we look at the solutions in the al-hilal with Mitrovic and Malcom or at al-nassr with Ronaldo, Taliska and even Mane… Here’s the difference.
I always talk about the impact that it can have in the event of special deals in terms of method, approach and ambition, I cannot blame anyone but I like to put forward my requirements.
