Al Faisaly Edges Out Al Ahli in Thrilling Encounter to Maintain Title Pursuit
In a gripping contest at Amman International Stadium on October 25, 2025, Al Faisaly continued their impressive form with a 3-2 victory over Al Ahli. While my pre-match prediction of a comfortable 4-1 win for Al Faisaly was a tad ambitious, the final score still reflects the home side's dominance throughout the match.
From the opening whistle, Al Faisaly displayed their attacking prowess, with the first goal arriving just eight minutes in. The initial strike set the tone, and by halftime, they were up 2-0, having found the net again shortly after the restart in the 48th minute. The home side's relentless pressure was evident as they capitalized on their chances while Al Ahli struggled to contain the attacking waves.
However, Al Ahli showed remarkable resilience, mounting a spirited comeback. The visitors finally found their footing in the 73rd minute when they managed to score, injecting a sliver of hope into their performance. Just nine minutes later, they pulled level at 2-2, and the match appeared poised for a dramatic finish.
With the momentum seemingly shifting, it was Al Faisaly who struck back decisively. In the 87th minute, they found the back of the net again, sealing the victory and sending their supporters into raptures. The last-minute goal was a heart-stopping moment for Al Ahli, who had fought valiantly but ultimately fell short.
This result solidifies Al Faisaly's position in the league standings, now sitting in second with 19 points from eight matches-just a hint behind the leaders. With six wins and a single draw, they are firmly in the title race, proving their strength and consistency week after week. On the other hand, Al Ahli remains in ninth place on just four points, struggling to find form as the season progresses. With one win in eight matches, the pressure mounts for coach Hossam Hossain as relegation fears loom large.
As both teams look to their upcoming fixtures, Al Faisaly will aim to continue their winning streak and put pressure on the top spot, while Al Ahli must regroup quickly if they hope to salvage their season. The stakes could not be higher as each match unfolds, and it remains to be seen if Al Ahli can turn their fortunes around before it is too late.
