Júlio Tavares struck first for Al Faisaly in the 15th minute, then Karim Berkaoui tied it up for Al Raed in the 81st minute squeezing out at least the one point for Al Raed.
Karim Berkaoui has been the most effective weapon for Al Raed lately. The attacker has netted three goals in his last 5 matches. Guilherme Augusto and Hicham Faik are the top scorers for Al Faisaly in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
