Al-Malikiyah continued its strong performances and succeeded in strengthening its lead in the standings after raising its score to 15 points, after playing 7 matches without any defeat, achieving 4 victories and 3 draws.
The team scored 11 goals and conceded only 6 goals, confirming its technical stability and defensive solidity that made it one of the most prominent candidates to compete for the title this season.
On the other hand, Al-Khalidiya did not give up chasing Al-Malikiyah, as the team has the same score of 15 points, but it occupies second place on goal difference in favor of Al-Malikiyah. The team achieved 5 victories and suffered only two defeats, providing a great offensive performance by scoring 11 goals in seven rounds.
While Al-Muharraq, which dropped from the lead to third place, was able in this round to return to winning ways, which raised the team’s tally to 14 points, with 4 wins and 2 draws.
Al-Muharraq has a postponed match with Sitra from the sixth round, which may give it the advantage of returning to the top spot if it succeeds in achieving victory over the Sitra Battalion.
