Tactical story

Bourj SC pressed high and forced Tajamo' into repeated mistakes in their own half. The front three rotated constantly, making it difficult for the visiting defenders to pick up markers. Bourj’s midfield also dominated the second balls, allowing them to sustain attacks and keep the pressure on.

Tajamo' Shabab Baalbek attempted to sit deeper after the early goals, but that only invited more pressure. Their best moments came on the counter, and Chehade’s second-half goal was a reward for persisted effort. Ultimately, Bourj’s superior intensity and sharper finishing made the difference.

Standout performers

Ali El-Hajj was the standout figure with two goals and constant threat in behind. Hassan Faour’s double highlighted his aerial strength, while Mohamad Kobeissi dictated play from midfield. For Tajamo', Omar Chehade deserves credit for taking his chance and remaining competitive until the final whistle.

What it means

The three points strengthen Bourj SC’s position in the Lebanese Premier 2 table and send a clear message about their attacking potential. The margin of victory could also prove important if goal difference becomes a factor in the promotion race. Tajamo' Shabab Baalbek will need to regroup quickly, particularly defensively, after a difficult evening away from home.
