Sudan Events – Agencies
Al Awal Park Stadium in Riyadh brings together Al-Nasr, the home team, and its Gulf counterpart in the semi-finals of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup on Wednesday evening.
The two teams recently met in the Saudi Roshan League at Prince Muhammad bin Fahd Stadium in Dammam, where Al-Nasr won with a clean goal.
Al-Nasr hopes to reconcile its fans and gift it the King’s Cup to exit the season with a title at the very least. On the other hand, Al-Khaleej is in the semi-finals for the first time in its history and aspires to an unprecedented qualification to the final to improve its season.
Abdul Rahman Gharib, Muhammad Maran, Walid Abdullah and Sami Al-Naji are absent from Al-Nasr’s roster, and goalkeeper Nawaf Al-Aqidi continues to be suspended from Al-Alamy, and Al-Nasr is playing its third match against Al-Khaleej during the current season, where it defeated it back and forth in the Roshan League and qualifies to double its advantage with a third victory.
It is noteworthy that the two sides met in 19 matches, where Al-Nasr won 12 times, compared to two victories for Al-Khaleej, and the tie was settled in 5 matches. Al-Nasr scored 35 goals, while Al-Khaleej scored 13 goals.
