Preceding that game was the away victory against Al Tadhamon with the score of 2-1.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Yarmouk was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Premier League trip to Al Qadsia.
