المنتخب السعودي يتخطى ترينداد ويصل لربع نهائي الكأس الذهبية

Our national football team has qualified for the quarter-finals of the Gold Cup (CONCACAF) after a positive draw with their counterpart, the Trinidad and Tobago team, with a score of one goal each, in the match held at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, USA, at the conclusion of the group stage. Meanwhile, the United States team defeated Haiti with a score of two to one, allowing the American team to qualify as the leader of Group D and our national team as the runner-up, while Haiti (third) and Trinidad and Tobago (fourth) exited the tournament.

The match witnessed a calm start from our national team, and Trinidad and Tobago took advantage of the opportunity, managing to score the first goal with a shot from outside the penalty area by player Dante Celey into the upper corner of the net to the right of goalkeeper Nawaf Al-Aqidi. Our Saudi team tried to return to the match, but luck was not on their side, especially with Abdulrahman Al-Aboud's shot that hit the crossbar. Then, Saleh Al-Shehri struck a powerful shot that also hit the crossbar, but player Firas Al-Buraikan followed up and put the ball in the net, equalizing for the Saudi team (60'). The stars of the Green continued their attack, and Saud Abdulhamid broke the offside trap and shot the ball just beside the post. On the second attempt, he managed to find the net, but he was caught in an offside trap. Trinidad and Tobago nearly regained the lead, but the crossbar denied Nathaniel James's shot, and the match ended in a draw with one goal for each team.

With this result, our national team achieves its first draw and reaches four points, occupying second place, and qualifying deservedly for the quarter-finals of the Gold Cup, while the American team surpassed Haiti with a score of two to one, topping the fourth group and also qualifying for the quarter-finals.
