The youth team regained third place after its victory over its neighbor Al-Hilal 3-0 in the Riyadh derby, which brought them together at Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium in Malaz at the end of the 22nd round of the Saudi Roshan League.
At the beginning, the match witnessed mutual control by the two teams, and there was a single dangerous opportunity for the youth player Christian Guanca, whose shot was blocked by Abdullah Al-Mayouf with difficulty and turned it into a corner kick. Al-Hilali dodged back Mohammed Al-Buraik, who dealt with it wonderfully and hit it to the left of the goalkeeper Al-Mayouf as the first goal for Al-Shabab (D: 55), and from a free kick for Al-Shabab, Ever Banega passed the ball to his colleague Christian Guanca, to hit it crawling to the right of Al-Mayouf as a second goal for Al-Shabab (D: 68). The meeting witnessed unfortunate events from Al-Hilal player Gustavo Cuellar, as he suffocated the youth player Aaron Bubenza to give him the match referee, Majed Al-Shamrani, the direct red card (D: 76), so that Al-Hilal completed the match minus a player, and Al-Shabab almost doubled the score had it not been for the youth attack not dealing with passes. Pangea as it should, until substitute Hattan Bahbari managed to score the third goal for Al-Shabab (D: 90 + 7).
With this result, Al-Shabab achieved its fourteenth victory, reaching the 47th point and reaching the third place, while Al-Hilal received the third loser, and its balance frozen at 45 points, and it fell to the fourth place.
