The Seven-Game Curse: Al Ittihad Still Can't Beat Damak at Their Home Ground
Al Ittihad and Damak settled for a 1-1 draw at Damak's stadium in the Saudi Pro League.

Match context

Al Ittihad faced an awkward setback due to poor results at Damak's stadium in the Roshen Saudi Pro League.

The match finished 1-1, played at the Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Sports City in Al-Muhala on Tuesday, during the 15th round of the season.

Head-to-head at Damak's ground

Since Damak's rise to the Saudi Pro League in 2019, Al Ittihad has visited seven times, winning three and drawing four. Across those visits, Damak has scored 11 goals while Al Ittihad has seven, averaging a goal per game for the visitors.

Now the Tigers must wait for next season to secure their first league win on Damak's turf.

Punchline 1: If consistency were a trophy, Al Ittihad would have retired it by now.

Punchline 2: The only thing more stubborn than the Tigers’ defense is my WiFi signal in the stadium—both drop when it counts.
