KUWAIT: Qadisiya Sports Club football team began its campaign for winning Kuwait Zain Football Championship with a win against Yarmouk Club (1-0) Friday evening.
Al-Qadisiya which lost its first match against Kuwait 1-0, was able to score relatively early in the match in the 12th minute by its Brazilian striker Igor Rossi who received a pass from veteran player Bader Al-Mutawaa.
The second half of the match saw Qadisiya’s level drop specially after its players Athbi Shihab and Muath Al-Dhafiri were injured, as Yarmouk players attempted to do something but failed.
Meanwhile, Al-Arabi did not find its match with Tadhamon easy, as Al-Arabi scored in the 40th minute, then Tadhamon answered 3 minutes later. Nigerian player Anayo Iwuala added a second goal for Al-Arabi, only to have Talal Al-Ansari answer it, and that is how the first half ended (2-2).
Al-Arabi’s winning goal was scored by Ahmad Al-Khaldi from the spot. Al-Arabi now has (6) points, while Tadhamon remain with one point.
