penalty shootout

Al-Bataih players executed penalty kicks with great skill, with unstoppable shots, except for the first kick, which was missed, and they succeeded in achieving victory later, while the "Tigers" players hit two balls that went outside the goal without interference from the Kalba goalkeeper, which explains the early willingness to resort to the penalty shootout.

Kalba substitutions

Sports analysts were surprised by the changes made by the Iranian Kalba Union coach, Farhad Majidi, by replacing the four best players, including Habib Al-Fardan, Ahmed Amer and the Brazilian Leonardo, within 20 minutes without calculating that the match could go to extra time, which gave Al-Bataeh a great advantage.

Second half

Al-Bataeh team succeeded in presenting a distinguished performance in the second half and came back with the result at the expense of Ittihad Kalba, for the second match in a row, presenting a distinguished technical level through which it succeeded in achieving a 3-3 draw, although Ittihad Kalba was ahead 3-1.

The match witnessed a significant absence from the fans of the two teams, especially the supporters of Kalba, despite the importance of the match, in addition to the fact that its evening time suits many of the fans, and this contributed to the lack of support for the fans by the landlords.
