"However, Al Sanbi could do nothing to stop Al-Fateh from restoring parity two minutes before the break. Matteo Dams' throw-in was intercepted by Marwane Saadane, with his touch setting up Vargas to rifle a stunning first-time shot into the roof of the net. And just two minutes after the restart, Batna's inviting corner picked out an unmarked Vargas at the back post, and he was on hand to volley the ball past Al Sanbi."
"Matias Vargas scored twice as Al-Fateh came from behind to beat Al-Ahli 2-1 at Maydan Tamweel Aloula as Matthias Jaissle's side suffered their first league defeat of the season. Playing in their first match since seeing talisman Riyad Mahrez depart for the Africa Cup of Nations, Al-Ahli missed the chance to close the gap to Al-Taawoun in third place. After seeing an earlier effort repelled by Al-Fateh goalkeeper Fernando Pacheco,"
Al-Fateh recovered from an early deficit to defeat Al-Ahli 2-1, with Matias Vargas scoring both goals either side of halftime. Al-Ahli took the lead when Valentin Atangana swivelled and finished from a Galeno corner. Al-Fateh levelled after Matteo Dams' throw-in was intercepted by Marwane Saadane, allowing Vargas to rifle a first-time strike into the roof of the net, then secured the winner from a Batna corner. A Sofiane Bendebka header was later ruled out for offside after VAR. Fernando Pacheco made key saves, and the result lifts Al-Fateh away from the relegation zone.
