It's a shame your prediction was wrong,, because this match ended in a draw. I also didn't expect Al Ittihad, with their full strength, to be held to a draw by a team currently in 13th place. So this is truly something we never expected before. Because in the previous match,, Al Ittihad performed quite well by being able to hold Al Hilal to a draw, and I also thought that this match would not end like this.
Al Ittihad have had a lot of surprising results this season and yesterday�s night that repeated again, the draw was unpredictable because of the fact that same Al Hazem lost to Al Nassr by conceding four goals but they still draw against them.
Am Ittihad scored the first goal but Al Hazem quickly equalized just after four minutes because Al Hazem attack was really putting the pressure in the second half and they could have even win Al Ittihad if not fit that chance they missed�..isn�t that a verybad performance for a team like Al Ittihad! The reigning champions?
But in reality,, Al Ittihad was also unable to move in this match, and I think it was caused by their attack line that did not perform well. Because in this match, Al Ittihad also had many opportunities, but perhaps because they have lost their sharp striker, Benzema, so their performance is like this. So with this, I think Al Ittihad may not have any hope anymore in the Saudi Arabian League, because now they need to bring in a sharp striker to balance their performance again.
I think Al Ittihad tried to have a kinda replacement for Benzema, they bought ilenikhena earlier this month from Monaco but maybe he need some more time to settle in the SPL. And this season Al Ittihad are out of the title race, they�re the sixth place and they�re almost sixteen or seventeen points behind Al Ahli whom are temporary leading the league.
