The visitors took the lead through Saudi youth international Sabri Dahal inside eleven minutes and did well to limit Okhdoud to few ventures into their half.

But the second half saw Fayha take complete command. Guinea-Bissau national team midfielder Semedo volleyed the visitors to a 2-0 lead in the 55th minute with his third goal of the campaign.

And then it was time for star Sakala to take center stage. The Zambian played a brilliant combination with Spanish forward Jason Remesiro, who return pass was perfect to leave only the goalkeeper to beat for the former Rangers FC poacher.

Sakala then returned the favor to the Spaniard. Six minutes later, he produced quick dribbling moves and then crossed low for Remesiro to fire in a low finish to make it 4-0.
