Al Jahraa interrupted Al Arabi’s successful run in the Kuwait Premier League by beating them 2-1 in a match that brought them together tonight, Wednesday, at the end of the 14th round of the competition. Arabi were undefeated in their last 8 league matches as Al-Qasr Al-Ahmar sons in a match played at Mubarak Al-Ayyar Stadium, a stronghold of Al-Qasr Al-Ahmar sons. With this victory, Al Jahra raised their score to 21 points and finished in fourth place, while Al Arabi’s balance sheet was stuck at 22 points, finishing second in the standings.
Al Arabi got off to a good start ahead of Al Jahra, where Libyan professional Mohamed Sole managed to score the first goal in the eighth minute with a shot in the box that hit goalkeeper Badr Al Sanoun’s net. Al-Arabi’s dominance continued as Al-Solah and Nigerian Edo nearly solidified the progress target, but chances passed peacefully at Al-Jahra’s target.
Al Jahra began to enter the atmosphere of the meeting after 20 minutes amid threats from Ghanaian striker Asaka and Qatari Abdul Karim Hassan, but the first half ended with a goal by Al Arabi.
In the second half, the hosts entered the Al-Jahra team in a different way and quickly managed to equalize the score with the 48th, thanks to Isaka from Ghana.
Al Jahra took advantage of the confusion in Al Arabi’s defense to score the winning goal with a powerful shot that hit Suleiman Abdel-Ghafoor’s net and Abdel-Karim Hasan narrowly missed a reinforcement goal, but the ball was deflected by Al-Qaim. On the other hand, Al-Arabi’s attempts to return to the meeting were unsuccessful, despite the replacement of the coach of the Bosnian team, Rosmir, as Al-Jahra managed to maintain the lead, gaining 3 precious points.
It is worth noting that Al Jahra established an honorary corridor for the Al Arabi team, against the background of the recent victory of Al Akhdar in the title of the Crown Prince Cup, at the expense of Al Salmiya on penalties.
