Tishreen SC produced a determined comeback performance to beat Al-Shouleh 2-1 in their Syrian Premier League meeting on 7 March 2026. Although the scoreline remained tight until the closing stages, Tishreen’s greater urgency in attacking areas ultimately made the difference.

First-half rhythm

The opening period was a balanced affair, with both sides pressing high and looking to strike in transition. Al-Shouleh were not afraid to commit players forward and took the lead after catching Tishreen’s defence out of shape with a quick through ball. The goal forced Tishreen to respond, and they grew noticeably more aggressive in possession as the half progressed. Despite several deliveries into the box, they went into the interval still chasing the game.

Tishreen turn it around

• Level shortly after the restart: Tishreen SC equalised through a well-worked attacking move that finished with a composed strike across the goalkeeper.
• Period of sustained pressure: With the momentum now running their way, the home side pushed Al-Shouleh deep and started to control the flow of the game.
• Decisive goal: A late goal, forged from a second-phase attack after a corner was only half-cleared, secured the points and sparked muted celebrations on the Tishreen bench.

Character and consequence

In the end, Tishreen SC’s willingness to keep forcing the issue told a clear story. Al-Shouleh had executed their game plan well until conceding the equaliser, but once Tishreen raised the intensity it became difficult for them to get out of their own half. The win adds to Tishreen’s momentum in the Syrian Premier League and reinforces their reputation as a side that rarely accepts second best in this competition. Al-Shouleh, although left with nothing to show for their work, will at least take encouragement from an energetic display away from home.
