Details and match highlights are below.

AL TAI V AL SHABAB

A brace of first-half headers from Carlos Jr saw Al Shabab fight back from a goal down and win 2-1 at Al Tai.

The hosts at Prince Abdul Aziz bin Musa’ed Stadium took the lead on nine minutes when Amir Sayoud slotted in, on the counter. But two ruthless pieces of finishing from nine-goal Carlos Jr on 18 and 38 minutes ended their three-match drawing run.

This result sent Al Shabab up to third, while Al Tai stay ninth.

AL WEHDA V AL FATEH

Goals in either half from Firas Al Buraikan and Mourad Batna helped Al Fateh earn a 2-0 triumph at 10-man Al Wehda.

Saudi Arabia striker Al Buraikan fired into the bottom corner on 25 minutes at King Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium, before Batna sealed things with a venomous finish past the 90-minute mark. Costa Rica defender Oscar Duarte had earlier been dismissed for two bookings.

This result pushed Al Fateh up into sixth. Al Wehda stay 12th.
