Oman today_ The second round of the Asian Elite League wrapped up last night with several key results. The biggest highlight came in Jeddah, where Shabab Al Ahli from the UAE defeated Saudi Arabia’s Al Ittihad 1-0. Iranian midfielder Saeid Ezatolahi scored the only goal of the match and was named man of the match, lifting Shabab Al Ahli to 4 points.
In Tabriz, Iran’s Tractor hosted Al Wahda of the UAE. Despite creating good chances, Tractor couldn’t find the net, and the match ended in a goalless draw. With 2 points, Tractor now sits in 8th place—a position that keeps them in the safe zone but still under pressure.
Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia claimed two straight victories to become the only team with 6 points, securing the top spot in the table. Al Ahli of Saudi Arabia and Al Sharjah of the UAE each stand on 4 points, while Qatar’s Al Gharafa reached 3 points and kept their hopes alive.
Tractor’s next challenge will be against Al Sharjah in the UAE—a decisive clash that could shape their place in the standings. With six matches still to play, there’s room for change, but Tractor needs to aim for a mid-table position to avoid facing powerhouses like Al Hilal in the next stage.
