Al-Ittihad have endured a miserable ti꧙tle defence, and with just two games remaining, the highest the bigꦯ-spending, PIF-backed club can finish is fourth.
Muhannad Al Shanqiti put them ahead on the stroke of half-time, yet despite having a further eight shots and accu🐼mulating 1.07 xG in the second half, Al-Ittihad could not add another.
Their profligacy proved costly in the 81st minute, with Egypt international Sherif snatching a𒉰n equaliser for 11th-placed Al-Khaleej.
Al-Tai moved out of the relegation zone with a surprise 3-1 win 𝔍over seventh-placed Al-Fateh, with Bernard Mensah scoring twice.
Al-Raed, meanwhile, claimed a 🍎1-0 win at Al-Wehda.

On the flip side, Kante only attempted one tackle, with the midfiౠelder showing 🐼a different side to his game, not that it proved fruitful for his team.
