Sérgio Conceição's Al Ittihad lost this Friday to Al Ettifaq 1-0, in a match counting for the 16th round of the Saudi Championship. Danilo Pereira and Roger Fernandes were starters in the Portuguese coach's team and saw the visiting team score in the second half. Following a counterattack, Al Ghannam shot in an arc and scored a great goal that ended up deciding the match. Before the end of the match, the task, which was already difficult for Conceição's men, became even more difficult when goalkeeper Rajkovic received a straight red card after cutting the ball with his hand outside the area. With this result, Al Ittihad is once again without a win in the Saudi League and finds itself in sixth place with 27 points won, two more than Al Ettifaq, with 25, in seventh place.
