Ittihad Secures Narrow Victory Over Al-Najma in Saudi Roshan League
On Sunday night, Ittihad returned to winning ways with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Al-Najma during matchday 20 of the Saudi Roshan League. The match showcased intense competition and highlighted the performance of the home team.
Malian international Mohamed Doumbia netted the only goal of the match in the fourth minute, securing three important points for Ittihad after a stretch of inconsistent performances.
The Ittihad lineup was missing key players N'Golo Kanté due to a chest injury and Saleh Al-Shehri, who is sidelined with a right leg muscle injury, complicating the match for the team.
With this victory, Ittihad now has 34 points, placing them sixth in the standings, while Al-Najma remains at the bottom with just 5 points, deepening their crisis.
In related news, French newspaper L'Équipe reported through journalist Arnau Erman that the transfer of young French player Miti to Al-Hilal has been finalized, and it is likely that Karim Benzema will not leave Ittihad.
