"Franck Kessie's second-half stunner proved decisive as 10-man Al-Ahli maintained their unbeaten start to the Saudi Pro League season with a 2-1 victory over Al-Qadsiah. Kessie picked out the bottom-left corner just two minutes after substitute Abdullah Al Salem had levelled the contest, with his effort moving Al-Ahli up to fourth in the table. Galeno curled Al-Ahli into a sixth-minute lead after the Brazilian ruthlessly punished Musab Al Juwayr's misplaced pass with a precise finish into the bottom-right corner."
"However, in first-half stoppage time, the visitors were handed a way back into the contest when Ziyad Al Johani was given a straight red card for an elbow into the chest of Otavio. And Al-Qadsiah made their advantage count in the 64th minute when Al Salem headed Christopher Bonsu Baah's cross into the net just 26 seconds after entering the pitch."
