Pressure
Al-Faisaly appeared in a beautiful form from the beginning of the match, and had the upper hand on the pitch after the high pressure applied by its players.
This approach made the field control evident in favor of Al-Faisaly, which translated this superiority when it succeeded in scoring the opening goal through its player Malek Allan, who received a pass from Anas Al-Awadat and shot it successfully without hesitation to the left of the Al-Ramtha goalkeeper (11).
Al-Ramtha wanted to compensate after the goal, and indeed possessed the ball relatively and forced Al-Faisaly to retreat to its defensive zones and rely on counterattacks, and the remainder of the time saw many opportunities exchanged by the two teams with the absence of the final touch.
Awakening but
In the midst of Al-Ramtha's awakening and its attempts at the start of the second half, Al-Faisaly defied expectations after succeeding in strengthening the result through its player Majdi Al-Attar (54), who received a ball from Ahwa, advanced with it into the area, and shot it powerfully into the net.
Al-Ramtha sensed its deficit and its awakening increased on the pitch, and after repeated attempts, it succeeded in narrowing the result via a corner kick that the Al-Faisaly goalkeeper failed to clear, finding Mohammed Khalil to put it in the net (63).
In return, Al-Faisaly realized that retreating backward could cost it a draw, so it returned to reorganize its papers and its coach moved to make some substitutions by involving Ahmed Al-Ersan and the professional Maradona, which were the cards that refreshed the team and gave it the advantage again with the third goal through the professional Maradona (86), who had a ball rebound in front of him from the Al-Ramtha goalkeeper and followed it into the net, then the fourth through Al-Ersan (90+1).

.. Direct entry
Amman - Awda Al-Dawla
Al-Wehdat entered the atmosphere of the Professional Football League directly after its valuable 1-0 victory over Al-Hussein in a match that took place at the King Abdullah II Stadium.
Al-Wehdat achieved many gains from that at the conclusion of the fifth week, the most important of which was sending a heavy message that strengthens its presence in the competition stream, just as the victory came over the title holder for the last three consecutive seasons, breaking the tie in points to reach the eighth point, leaving Al-Hussein with 5 points.
Names on the field
Al-Wehdat represented by: Mohammed Al-Amwasi, Arafat Al-Haj, Titi, Shawqi Al-Qaza, Mustafa Kamal, Fadi Awad, Mohammed Al-Daoud, Ahmed Sabra, Mohammed Muwali, Jimmy Siage, and Hamza Al-Naeem.
Al-Hussein represented by: Yazid Abu Laila, Abdullah Naseeb, Pedro, Ali Hajbi, Ahmed Assaf, Yousef Abu Al-Jazar, Mahmoud Shawkat, Yousef Qashi, Mohammed Al-Rayhi, Aref Al-Haj, and Masoud Juma.
Clear proceedings
In the proceedings, Aref shot a powerful ball that Al-Amwasi caught, serving as the start of the excitement, and the response almost came through Al-Naeem if not for Naseeb's intervention.
Precise passes appeared between the two parties after using the midfield cards and Hajbi cutting off repeated attempts, but Muwali sent a clever ball to Al-Daoud who crossed it, and Al-Naeem headed it perfectly to announce the opening of the scoring in the 22nd minute.
Al-Amwasi cleared Naseeb's header from Aref's corner, and immediately after replacing Abu Al-Jazar, Ahmed Al-Salman strengthened the support for Juma, but Kamal was on the lookout along with Al-Qaza. The same goalkeeper returned to shine by saving Qashi's powerful shot, then asked to leave due to injury, appearing in his place Ahmed Arabash, who made the most beautiful save directly for Al-Rayhi's long-range ball.
Al-Hussein intensified its attacking sorties, benefiting from Aref's skill and the activity of Shawkat and Al-Salman, and was close to equalizing, but the translation was absent in the final touch due to haste on one hand and the bravery of the opponent's defense as they went to the break.
Al-Hussein resorted to crosses with the start of the second half and obtained corner kicks, but Awad cut off the scene before the danger and Assaf's intentions arrived. As time passed, changes were made according to the front positions with urgent attempts by Al-Hussein to save the situation, while Arabash succeeded again in averting the danger, specifically after saving Aref's one-on-one with confidence.
Al-Hussein threw all its attacking cards and repeated the state of pressure with the calmness of Al-Wehdat's play, and the match opened up and witnessed a waterfall of opportunities, specifically for the trailing team.
Al-Wehdat succeeded in tightening the noose on Al-Hussein's attack, and was even close to adding to the lead if not for Abu Laila's interventions. It became clear that the winner's tactic was moving with confidence to settle matters, until the international referee Ahmed Yaqoub's whistle blew, announcing the valuable points and Al-Wehdat celebrations, and Al-Hussein's regret over the series of wasted chances to no avail.
Man of the match
Al-Wehdat striker Hamza Al-Naeem deserved to be the man of the match after scoring the most prominent goal and disturbing Al-Hussein's wall, just as he imposed his personality by escaping marking and providing high-quality performance to write himself as an important deal.
