Ittifaq defeated its home rival Al-Qadisiyyah 2-0 in a delayed match in Group B of Prince Faisal Bin Fahd Cup at the Prince Saud Bin Jalawi Sports City Stadium Wednesday.
Abdurrahman Al-Qahtani put Al-Ittifaq in the lead in the 13th minute and Hamad Al-Hamad sealed the win 11 minutes after the break.
The result put Al-Ittifaq in the third place with eight points behind Al-Fateh and Hejr. Al-Qadisiyyah is fifth with four points.
In another delayed match of Group C, Al-Wehdah shared two goals with its guest Al-Ittihad.
The first half ended goalless. In the 59th minute, striker Mohanned Aseeri put Al-Wehdah in the lead before Talal Al-Mish'al made it equal in the 81st minute.
Al-Wehdah is now third in its group with seven points, followed by Al-Ittihad with only two points although the latter still has one match in hand.
On Tuesday, the Technical Committee in the Saudi Arabian Football Federation has decided to deduct three points from Al-Hilal team for violating the regulations of Prince Faisal Bin Fahd Cup. The points and three goals were added to other team, according to the decision.
The committee said in its statement that six of Al-Hilal players in its match against Al-Shoa'lah were over 23 years. Therefore, Al-Hilal is considered loser. The decision was taken due to the participation of Saad Al-Dhiyab to make it six players.
The regulations of the tournament give the participating teams the choice to have five older players, with the goalkeeper excluded – the goalkeeper's age should not exceed 23.
The match ended 4-0 in favor of Al-Hilal and witnessed the fastest goal ever recorded in a professional football match, when Nawaf Al-Abid gave Al-Hilal the lead after only two seconds.
