Al Ittihad 3-2 Al Hazm result, stats and report

Al Hazm dominated large spells of this Saudi Pro League contest and led through Roger Martínez's second-half strike, only for Afimico Pululu to convert a 90th-minute penalty and hand Al Shabab a point they barely deserved on the balance of play.

Al Ittihad came from behind twice to beat Al Hazm 3-2, with their penalty taker converting two spot kicks in the second half to secure three points despite a disorganised defensive performance that will concern the coaching staff.

Al Draih scored a third-minute header and defended their lead for 87 minutes to claim a 1-0 away victory at Al Hazm, winning despite Al Hazm dominating possession and generating far more attacking volume across the match.

Al Ittihad scored on the stroke of half-time and then held firm with ten men for the entire second half to claim a remarkable 1-0 victory at Al-Qadsiah, despite being outshot 26 to 5 and generating almost nothing in open play.

Al Hilal welcome Al Ittihad to Riyadh on Thursday having kept clean sheets in four of their last five home games, while the visitors arrive with a defensive record that has conceded in seven of their last ten. Something has to give.

Al Hazm welcome NEOM SC to their own patch on Thursday knowing that their recent pattern of results points firmly in the wrong direction. The detail in the data tells a more specific story than the scorelines suggest.

Al Ahli carry one of the most imposing home records in the Saudi Pro League into Thursday's fixture, but Al Hazm arrive with enough away experience to make this an interesting tactical examination. Here is what the data tells us.

Al Faisaly head into matchday three without a point and with six goals conceded already. Al Ittihad arrive carrying an injury list but enough firepower to make this a very uncomfortable evening for the hosts.
