A Triangular Struggle in the First Division Football League

The curtain fell on the third round of the First Division Football League, which witnessed the continuation of the close competition between the teams competing for the two tickets to the professional clubs, while the features of the struggle to escape from the relegation positions began to take shape early on as the competition intensified and the challenge between the participating clubs increased.

The news of the competition can also be summarized by the clear information regarding the progress of this triangular struggle, while some teams will suffer from influential absences due to the numerous injuries that occurred over the past few days.

The matches of the round were full of excitement and rivalry, as the Sahl Houran team managed to achieve a valuable victory over Hay Al-Amir Hassan with a goal without a response in the match held at Prince Hashem Stadium, adding three important points to its score. The only goal of the match was scored by the player Muhammad Salim Dhiabat, giving his team a victory that strengthened its chances of competing for the advanced positions and confirmed its ability to keep up with the teams aspiring to ascend.

In another match, Ma'an Al-Ahli surpassed the result, as Hussein Dhiabat scored the only goal of the match from a penalty kick, which he powerfully executed, earning his team three new points that raised its score in the standings, while Al-Ahli's suffering increased as it is still searching for its first victory in the championship during the current season.

Sarhan deepened the wounds of Shabab Aqaba with the goal scored by Aaid Al-Khawaleh at the Sarhan Stadium, as Shabab Aqaba continued to be at the bottom of the standings without points after three rounds of the competition, which puts it in front of major challenges in the upcoming rounds if it wants to stay away from the danger zones early on.

The Rusayfah Stadium witnessed one of the most exciting matches of the round, as the match between Al-Yarmouk and Al-Sarih ended in a positive draw with two goals for each team. Al-Yarmouk's goals were scored by Majahed Al-Zawahirah and Mahmoud Freitah, while Al-Sarih's goals came through Ashraf Al-Masaeed and Muhammad Al-Zubeidi. Each team left with a point that preserved their chances of continuing to compete in the upcoming stages.

In another match, Amman FC drew with Al-Ramtha Union without goals at Prince Muhammad Stadium, in a match that witnessed mutual attempts from both sides to secure the three points, but the defensive solidity and the lack of the final touch prevented the nets from shaking, leaving each team with a new point added to its score.

Jarash continued its strong performances and managed to achieve a deserved victory over Al-Hashimiyah with two goals without a response, in the match held at Prince Muhammad Stadium. Jarash's goals were scored by the duo Mahaar Al-Shdeifat and Muhammad Al-Hamaideh, confirming the team's strong presence since the start of the championship and continuing to challenge its competitors for the top spot.

After the end of the third round, the struggle at the top of the standings intensified as three teams tied for first place, with Amman FC, Jarash, and Al-Yarmouk sharing the lead with seven points each, reflecting the great competition between the clubs seeking to reach the professional league. Following this trio are Ma'an and Sahl Houran with five points each, remaining close to the leading teams as the championship continues in its early stages.

In the middle of the standings, Al-Ramtha Union, Al-Hashimiyah, and Sarhan each have four points, while Al-Sarih is in the next position with two points. As for Al-Ahli and Hay Al-Amir Hassan, each has only one point, while Shabab Aqaba is in the last position without any points after three rounds.

The First Division is being held during the current season according to a split-league system from a single stage, where the participating teams compete in a strong race to determine the identity of the two teams that will qualify for the professional clubs for the next season, alongside determining the clubs that will leave the competition to the second division. The tournament system stipulates that the teams in the first and second positions in the final standings will ascend to the professional clubs for the next season, while four teams that occupy the last positions will descend to the second division.
