Al Yarmouk claimed a 2-1 away victory over Ittihad Al-Ramtha SC in the Jordan League Division 1 on 19 September 2026, with a brace from Mahmoud Al-Sarayrah proving decisive. The win lifts Al Yarmouk up the table and leaves Ittihad Al-Ramtha still searching for consistency in the early weeks of the campaign.

Match Overview

Al Yarmouk started the brighter of the two sides, pressing high and forcing Ittihad Al-Ramtha into early mistakes. Their dominance paid off in the 18th minute when Al-Sarayrah finished neatly from inside the box after a well-worked move down the right. He doubled the lead just before half-time, converting a penalty after a foul on his strike partner. Ittihad Al-Ramtha improved after the break and pulled one back through Ahmad Al-Zoubi in the 74th minute, but despite late pressure, they could not find an equaliser.

Tactical Story

Al Yarmouk lined up in a 4-2-3-1 with Al-Sarayrah as the focal point. Their wingers constantly cut inside, overloading the half-spaces and creating chances for the striker. Ittihad Al-Ramtha, playing a 4-4-2, struggled to cope with this movement in the first half. A half-time switch to a back three helped them gain a foothold, and they dominated the final 20 minutes, but the damage had already been done.

Standout Players

Mahmoud Al-Sarayrah was the undisputed man of the match, scoring twice and leading the line with intelligence and aggression. Al Yarmouk’s goalkeeper, Faisal Al-Rawashdeh, made two important saves to preserve the lead. For Ittihad Al-Ramtha, Ahmad Al-Zoubi was their best performer, scoring the consolation and driving his team forward from midfield.

Season Impact

Al Yarmouk’s win moves them into a promising position in the Jordan League Division 1 standings, building momentum for the weeks ahead. Ittihad Al-Ramtha remain in the lower half and will need to tighten up defensively if they are to climb the table. The return fixture later in the season already looks like a crucial opportunity for Ittihad to exact revenge.
