"Youssef En-Nesyri scored his first goal in the league before Fashion Sakala levelled things early in the second half, but Hassan Kadish scored the winner with seven minutes to go as the hosts moved up to sixth in the standings. The deadlock was broken in the 35th minute when Mahamadou Doumbia was played through on the right wing before he found En-Nesyri with a low cross, and Orlando Mosquera was unable to keep out the striker's sweeping finish."
"Data Debrief: Kadish to the rescue There was little to separate the two sides, with Al-Ittihad producing 0.68 expected goals (xG) from 15 shots to Al-Fahya's 0.65 from 11 attempts. But left-back Kadish made the right impact at both ends of the pitch. He registered the most shots for his side (three), the most touches (86), won the most tackles (two) and won possession seven times (second most behind Doumbia with eight)."
