In the 37th minute, Riyadh Crescent's sharp arrows shot out of the moonlight as the Crescent's escapees skillfully created a sublime attack for Neymar. The Brazilian soccer superstar received the ball and the shot bounced unexpectedly off the feet of the defender. Towards the end of the half, Damac's shot had the away fans' hearts racing and Shafai's header came close to breaking the deadlock. Fortunately, Bunu's miraculous save allowed Riyadh Crescent to walk into the locker room with a one-goal advantage. In the second half, Riyadh Crescent continued to press. In the 54th minute, Marr skillfully carried the ball in the middle of the field and instantly ripped through the defense with a penetrating pass. Salem skillfully avoided Marr's defense and passed the ball to Mitrovic, who was parrying in the middle. However, Mitrovic missed this great opportunity and his shot was off target. In the 68th minute, Damac was awarded a free kick in front of the goal and Stanciu, a player who has sweated in the Chinese Super League, took a world-class shot that went right through the wall and into the corner of the net. Despite Bunu's efforts to save, the ball was drilled into the net to make the score 1-all.
Marr missed another good chance in the 77th minute. He had a chance to score in front of Damac, but the shot missed. Both teams failed to score again for the rest of the match and it ended in a draw. A win for either Jeddah National or Jeddah League will see them overtake Riyadh Crescent to climb to the top of the league table!
