Ittihad enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Al Fateh's place. The match ended 3-2 with Romarinho (2) and Henrique scoring. The game against Al Fateh had lots of late drama as Ittihad came back from being down 0-2 and finally secured the victory through Henrique's goal in the 90th minute. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of Contra when Henrique scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 80th minute. Some amazing scenes last match, when Henrique scored the winning goal two minutes into stoppage time.
