Key Moments

• 18th minute – Tripoli take the lead: A swift counter‑attack saw winger Mohammad Al‑Ali cut inside and fire a low shot into the far corner after a pass from playmaker Hassan Jouni.
• 34th minute – Second goal: Tripoli doubled their advantage from a set‑piece. Defender Ali Bitar rose highest to head home a corner, leaving the Naameh goalkeeper with no chance.

Tactical Story

Tripoli Sporting Club employed a high‑press that disrupted Naameh’s build‑up from the back. The away side’s midfield trio of Jouni, Fadi Mansour, and Rami‑Zein dominated the centre of the park, recycling possession quickly. Naameh, in contrast, looked disjointed: their 4‑4‑2 lacked width, and they failed to create a single clear‑cut chance across 90 minutes.

Standout Performers

• Hassan Jouni (Tripoli Sporting Club): The midfield metronome; his passing range and assist for the first goal set the tone.
• Ali Bitar (Tripoli Sporting Club): A commanding presence at both ends – scored from a corner and kept a clean sheet.
• Karim Abdallah (Tripoli Sporting Club): Poacher’s instinct for the third goal, showing calmness under pressure.

Table Impact

With the win, Tripoli Sporting Club climb to third place in the Lebanese Premier 2 standings, just two points behind the automatic promotion spots. Ittihad Haret Naameh remain second from bottom, six points from safety, and face an uphill battle to avoid relegation.
