Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Zeyad Al-Hunayti's composed display anchored Al Orobah as they edged Abha 3-2 in the King's Cup Round of 32, a result that sends them into the next round despite a torrid evening. The defender's 8.5 rating proved the difference on a night when the scoreline flattered the hosts.

The match turned on a VAR review at the stroke of half-time that went against Abha, decisively shifting momentum. Hamed Taleb collected an early yellow, while Mohammed Raed, Rafi Al-Ruwaili, Faraj and Abdulaziz Al Fahiqi all joined him in the book for Al Orobah, and Abdulbaset Hindi and Faisal Al-Sibyani saw yellows for the visitors before the 120-minute slog concluded.

Abha controlled the numbers entirely, holding 72% possession and firing 25 shots to Al Orobah's 11, with 11 corners to none, yet they were outplayed but won on efficiency as the hosts' 3-2 victory defied the run of play. Al-Hunayti earned his 8.5 rating as the standout performer, a defender whose calm presence under relentless pressure kept his side ahead.
