Friday’s match between Al-Nasr and Al-Ittihad represents the first confrontation of the Moroccan striker Abdul Razzaq Hamdallah, the Jeddah striker, once morest his old team Al-Nasr, following the example of many players who defended the colors of the two teams.
Ittihad Jeddah Al-Nasr will face Al-Nasr in the 20th round of the Mohammed bin Salman Professional League at King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah, in a battle for the lead between the first and second places.
At the beginning of the 2011-2012 season, Adnan Fallata moved from Al-Ittihad to Al-Nassr, and the left-back did not participate during the first meeting between the two teams, which ended in favor of Jeddah’s yellow with three goals to one in Riyadh.
With the beginning of the following season, the Egyptian victory included Hosni Abd Rabbo and his colleague Abdo Atif from Al-Ittihad, and the two players participated in the match that Al-Nassr lost with a goal without a response.
In the following season, Al-Nasr continued his hobby of including players from Al-Ittihad, but this time he chose its leader, Muhammad Nour, to face his former team in Mecca, months following joining the capital Al-Asfar and winning it 3-1, before Al-Nasr and Nour concluded the season by crowning the league title.
In the 2014-2015 season, Nour returned to Al-Ittihad once more, and in return, Ahmed Al-Faridi joined Al-Nassr from the Jeddah team, and the first confrontation between the two teams ended with Al-Nassr winning 2-1.
In the winter period of the same season, Abdul Rahim Al-Jizawi moved to Al-Ittihad from Al-Nasr.
The transfers between the two clubs stopped for six years until the 2020-2021 season, when Al-Ittihad strengthened its ranks with the trio of Nasrawi Omar Hawsawi, Abdel Aziz Al-Jibreen and Hamad Al Mansour, and the trio saw the two teams equalize with one goal during the last round of the first round of that season.
