Al Faisaly 3-2 Al Kholood result, stats and report

Al Kholood held off a determined Al Shabab to win 2-1 in the Saudi Pro League, with Iker Kortajarena's equaliser briefly threatening to deny the hosts before Abdulrahman Al-Dawsari struck three minutes from time to settle it.

Al Kholood produced one of the most unlikely results of the Saudi Pro League campaign, beating a previously dominant Al Ahli 3-1 despite being outplayed for large portions of the match. The numbers told one story. The scoreboard told another.

Al-Fayha led twice at home but Al Kholood showed real desire to claw back a 2-2 draw in the Saudi Pro League, with Julien Domingues heading home in the 88th minute to deny the hosts a badly needed win.

Al Kholood scored three times in a dominant first half and held on despite Al Taawoun's second-half pressure, with the visiting side's triple substitution at half-time shifting the pattern of the game without ultimately changing the result.

Al Faisaly have not won in seven Saudi Pro League matches and are leaking goals at an alarming rate. Al Kholood arrive with wins on the board and goals in their boots.

Al-Qadsiah arrive in this Saudi Pro League fixture having won all five of their away matches this season, but Al Kholood's stubborn home structure has not been breached in their last ten attempts. Something has to give on Thursday night.

Al Kholood have not lost at home in their last ten matches, but Al Shabab arrive with nothing to lose and a defensive record that keeps games tight on the road. Wednesday's Saudi Pro League fixture has the structure of a draw written all over it.

Al Riyadh host Al Kholood on 10 September 2026 in what looks like a straightforward home win on paper. The hosts are building something at their ground. The visitors cannot buy a victory. Connor Maguire breaks it down.
