KUWAIT CITY, April 7: Kazma is on the verge of securing its position among the Zain Premier League clubs after attaining 26 points in the second round of relegation group matches in the Premier League. This achievement follows its 3-1 victory over Khaitan on Saturday evening. Meanwhile, Al-Jahra has revived its hopes of competing to remain among the top-tier teams after a crucial 2-1 win against Al-Shabab.

With Kazma leading the relegation group league with 26 points, they now require just two more points to ensure its continued presence among the Premier League clubs. Khaitan remains in second place with a frozen score of 15 points. Al-Jahra, buoyed by its recent victory, is holding onto hopes of staying in the Premier League, having amassed 11 points after defeating Al-Shabab, while the latter’s score halted at 14 points.

Kazma demonstrated dominance throughout the match, securing a hat-trick with goals from Nigerian professional Benjamin Teddy and Algerian Imad Eddine Ezzi, scoring in the 2nd, 22nd, and 37th minutes. Khaitan managed to score a goal through Yaqoub Al-Tarawa in the 34th minute.

In another challenging encounter, Kuwait Club faces Al-Salmiya at 9:30 pm at Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium to conclude the third round of championship group matches in the Zain Premier League. Kuwait Club, leading the league with 47 points, aims to secure victory to maintain its lead and potentially clinch the title. Conversely, Al-Salmiya, with 25 points, enters the match comfortably assured of remaining in the Premier League and aims for an advanced position, also preparing for the upcoming Amir’s Cup final against Al-Qadisiya.

In the second clash, both Al-Fahaheel and Al-Nasr, each with 24 points, harbor similar ambitions of securing a win to vie for fourth place and make their mark before the end of the season.
