Al Shabab delivered a remarkable performance with an impressive 20 shots on goal, while Abha managed only six. The former Atletico Madrid winger Yannick Carrasco played a pivotal role in the game, scoring twice in the Saudi Pro League (SPL) encounter. His first goal came in the first minute of added time before halftime.
Shortly after, Habib Diallo increased Al Shabab’s lead in the 57th minute. The substitute Carlos then scored a brace after being brought on in the second half. Carrasco concluded the match with his second goal in injury time, contributing to Al Shabab’s decisive victory.
This defeat marked the third-heaviest loss for Mosimane’s team in the league season.
