Al-Ahli 1-1 Al-Shabab: Toney penalty cancelled out as hosts pegged back

Al-Ahli missed the chance to go second in the Saudi Pro League, after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Al-Shabab.

Josh Brownhill’s first league goal for the visitors cancelled out Ivan Toney’s first-half penalty at Alinma Bank Stadium at King Abdullah Sport City.

The hosts broke the deadlock in the 15th minute, as Toney made no mistake from the spot after he was felled by Saad Yaslam in the box.

Al-Shabab saw a goal disallowed for offside, while Nawaf Al-Ghulaimish drilled wide from close range as they sought an equaliser.

Although their task became harder when they were reduced to 10 men in the 77th minute, as Mohammed Al-Shwirekh was shown a straight red.

Nevertheless, they earned a share of the spoils three minutes from time, with Brownhill rounding off a lovely move by tucking home from Yannick Carrasco’s cutback.

GOOOOOALLL!!!!
