Kuwaiti Premier League: Anayo Iwuala inspires Al Arabi to five-goal thriller win
By Saheed Afolabi
Al Arabi star Anayo Iwuala scored in his team’s thrilling 5-2 victory over Al Tadhamon in the Kuwaiti Premier League.
The diminutive winger has now netted in consecutive matches, showcasing his impressive form in the Middle East.
In the 39th minute, Ali Porusaniei put Al Arabi ahead with a deft finish, but Rodrigue Ninga equalized for Al Tadhamon just two minutes before halftime.
Iwuala regained the lead for Al Arabi in the 45th minute, and despite Talal Al-Ansari’s goal shortly before the break, the score remained level.
A 71st-minute strike from Ahmed Khaldi made it 3-1, securing the victory for Al Arabi.
With this win, Al Arabi leads the Kuwaiti Premier League with six points from two games. They will face Al Qadsia next at Sabah Al Salem Stadium on Wednesday, August 21.
