SOUTH AFRICANS ABROAD: CHIVAVIRO NETS TWICE IN AL-ADALAH LOSS
Chivaviro opened the scoring in the 20th minute before completing his brace six minutes later as Al-Adalah looked to be cruising nicely.
However, Al-Raed pulled one back towards the end of the first half through Gano, who added a second just before the break to make it 2-2.
Al-Adalah restored their lead a deep into stoppage time of the first half through Bukia to give his side a 3-2 lead heading into the break.
Nonetheless, those three Al-Adalah goals proved to be the last for the entire game as Al-Raed scored four more in the second half.
Al-Raed scored three quick goals in the opening 10 minutes through Bouzok (brace) and Al Salouli.
Gano then completed his hat-trick and Al-Raed’s rout over Chivaviro’s team with an 85th minute strike.
POSITIVES DRAWN FOR THE FORMER KAIZER CHIEFS MARKSMAN
Despite the loss, Chivaviro can take positives from his recent performances for Al-Adalah.
The Limpopo-born marksman has now netted five times in 12 matches across all competitions for the club.
Four of those five goals came in his last three matches for the Saudi Arabian outfit.
