"Al-Ittihad dominated the second half as they attempted to extend their five-game winning streak, with Fabinho, Danilo Pereira and Steven Bergwijn all firing off target. Yahya Naji saw a chance smothered late on before Abdulrahman Al Obaid rattled the crossbar with a powerful driven shot from the edge of the box, before Fabinho received his second booking in the 98th minute to see Al-Ittihad end the game with 10 men."
"They racked up 17 shots in total, but their chances were worth just 1.03 expected goals (xG), and only three of those were on target. By contrast, Damac may feel a little unfortunate not to come away with all three points despite having half the number of chances. They got four efforts on target, and racked up three 'big' chances."
Al-Ittihad were held to a 1-1 draw by Damac, with Muhannad Al Shanqiti cancelling out Abdullah Al Qahtani's 37th-minute strike. Al Shanqiti had an early effort ruled out after the ball had gone out during the build-up. Al-Ittihad dominated the second half but produced just three shots on target from 17 attempts and managed only 1.03 expected goals (xG). Damac registered four on-target efforts and three big chances. Fabinho received a second booking in the 98th minute to finish with ten men. The hosts extended a winless run of eight home matches (D4 L4).
