Shabab Al Sahel SC produced the most emphatic result of the night in the Lebanese Federation Cup, thrashing Riyadi Abbasiya 4-1 at home on Sunday, September 6, 2026.

The score line suggests a straightforward afternoon for Shabab Al Sahel, and in many ways it was. From the early moments, the home side looked sharper, faster, and more dangerous in possession. Their pressure told in the 12th minute when a clever run in behind the Riyadi Abbasiya defence was met with a dinked finish from the angle of the penalty area.

An Evening of Goals

Shabab Al Sahel doubled their advantage in the 26th minute through a well-struck volley after a corner was only half cleared. Riyadi Abbasiya found some temporary relief shortly after the half-hour mark when they pulled a goal back through a direct counterattack, capitalising on a stray pass in the middle of the park.

However, any hope of a comeback was swiftly extinguished. Just before the break, Shabab Al Sahel restored their two-goal cushion with a rebound finish after the visiting goalkeeper could only parry a long-range drive. In the second half, Shabab Al Sahel were content to manage the game but still added a fourth goal in the 78th minute, this time a beautifully curled effort from the edge of the box.
