"Josh Brownhill's first league goal for the visitors cancelled out Ivan Toney's first-half penalty at Alinma Bank Stadium at King Abdullah Sport City. The hosts broke the deadlock in the 15th minute, as Toney made no mistake from the spot after he was felled by Saad Yaslam in the box. Al-Shabab saw a goal disallowed for offside, while Nawaf Al-Ghulaimish drilled wide from close range as they sought an equaliser."
"Al-Ahli took the lead after Toney converted his 11th successive penalty in the Saudi Pro League, while the hosts have now scored each of their last 21. The former Brentford forward has now contributed to goals in each of his last eight home league games (10 goals). Despite seeing two points slip away, the Royals are unbeaten in each of their last eight Saudi Pro League matches immediately after an international break."
Al-Ahli were held to a 1-1 draw by Al-Shabab at Alinma Bank Stadium, denying Al-Ahli a chance to move up to second place in the Saudi Pro League. Ivan Toney opened the scoring from the penalty spot after he was fouled by Saad Yaslam, converting his 11th consecutive league penalty. Al-Shabab had a goal disallowed and missed other chances before Mohammed Al-Shwirekh received a straight red card in the 77th minute. Josh Brownhill equalised three minutes later by finishing Yannick Carrasco's cutback. Al-Ahli remain unbeaten in matches immediately after international breaks.
