Al-Fateh SC - Al-Kholood: 2–5
Al-Kholood stunned Al-Fateh with a clinical 5–2 away victory, led by Ramiro Enrique’s brace and polished assists from John Buckley and Guga. Despite dominating possession with 60%, Al-Fateh’s defense unraveled under swift counterattacks. Zaydou Youssouf gave the hosts hope with a stoppage-time goal before the break, and an own goal by Buckley brought it to 2–3. However, Al-Fateh’s chance to equalize slipped away when Mourad Batna missed a penalty, and Al-Kholood closed the door with two more goals to seal a commanding win.
