Ghanaian forward Sadat Karim was on target as Al Washm played out a dramatic 3-3 draw with Al Shoulla in the Saudi Second Division League on Saturday.
The experienced attacker opened the scoring on 18 minutes, finishing a bright Al Washm move to give the hosts an early advantage at the Al Washm Club Stadium.
Al Washm quickly built on Karim’s opener, with Abdulaziz Al Suwailem doubling the lead just after the half hour. Al Shoulla, however, dragged themselves back into the contest through Nidhal Ben Salem before the break, setting up a tense second half.
Wael Al Tas hauled the visitors level at 2 2 in the 55th minute, only for Abdulrahman Al Alawi to restore Al Washm’s lead with a composed finish late on. In a frantic finale, Al Tas struck again in stoppage time to snatch a point for Al Shoulla and deny Al Washm a crucial home win.
The result leaves Al Washm fourth in the table on 45 points, still firmly in the promotion mix. They now turn their attention to their next league fixture Afif, a key test in their push to climb into the top three.
