Four-goal night, two points dropped: Al Najma 2–2 Al-Okhdood

Unaizah believed at 2–1. Felippe Cardoso had opened from a Vargas cut-back, David Tijanić doubled the lead after a clever Al-Shammeri slip. Al-Okhdood refused the script.

The visitors struck twice in seven second-half minutes. Victor Braga, otherwise assured, was left exposed on the second as the midfield split. “We scored two beautiful goals and then we managed the game like tourists,” El Maestro said, without raising his voice.

Al Najma stay sixth. Next: Al-Raed at home, a Qassim night that the ticket office expects to fill every one of the 3,000 seats.
