Ahli Jeddah clinched the Prince Faisal ben Fahd Cup title after crushing city rivals and nine-man Ittihad 3-0 in the competition’s final on Friday.

Malek Moeaz opened the score line as early as the third minute before Brazilian striker Antonio Caio doubled the lead four minutes past the hour mark.

Ittihad keeper Mostafa Malaeka was sent-off in the 59th minute for handling the ball outside the area before Manaf Abushgeer joined him on the sidelines when he received a second booking for protesting the referee’s decision.

Khaled Badra killed off Ittihad’s hopes in the 79th minute from the penalty spot.

Ahli’s Tunisian international striker Haykel Guemamdia almost added the fourth two minutes from time but his goal was ruled out for offside.
