Sultan Madash, an attacker for Saudi Arabia, broke the deadlock just before halftime. In the second half, Abdullah Al Hamdan extended the Saudis’ lead. Salem Al-Dawsari sealed the win with a third goal late in the game, establishing the final scoreline.
The match commenced at 2:00 AM Moscow time but was halted in the 21st minute due to a thunderstorm. Play resumed after a two-hour delay, during which players, officials, and coaches remained in the locker rooms.
