Ittihad Club marked a return to winning form with a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Al-Najma on Sunday evening during the 20th round of the Roshan Saudi League. The match showcased intense competition and strong performances from the home side.

Malian international Mohamed Doumbia netted the decisive goal in the fourth minute, securing three important points for Ittihad following a stretch of mixed results.
