- Sunday’s winners join previous day’s qualifiers Al-Yamamah and Jeddah Eagles in Wednesday’s last four clashes
Al-Mamlaka and Challenge completed the line-up for the semifinals of the Saudi women’s National Football Championship on Sunday, after defeating the Storm and Eastern Flames, respectively, at King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah.
Both teams won their quarterfinal matches 2-1 to reach the final four, where Al-Mamlaka will face Al-Yamamah and Challenge take on Jeddah Eagles on Wednesday.
Samia Al-Awni of Al-Mamlaka — who had finished second in the Eastern division of the inaugural Regional Football League — proved to be the difference by scoring twice, with the Storm (Western division runner-up) responding with a lone strike from Mashael Al-Harbi that took the match into extra time.
In the second quarterfinal of the day, Challenge, the runner-up of the Central region, claimed victory thanks to a double-strike from Al-Bandari Mohammed, while Eastern Flames’ goal came from Ghadeer Salem.
