Al-Wahda Damascus Edges Tishreen SC in Syrian Premier League Clash

Al-Wahda Damascus snatched a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Tishreen SC in the Syrian Premier League on June 27, 2026. The goal came from a controversial penalty in the second half, but the home side’s overall performance was worthy of the three points in front of a passionate crowd.

The match at the Al-Fayhaa Stadium was a tense affair from the start, with both teams aware of the impact on the league table. Al-Wahda began the stronger, with early pressure that forced Tishreen into defensive clearances. The visitors, however, grew into the game and threatened on the counter, hitting the crossbar just before halftime.

The deadlock was broken in the 63rd minute when Al-Wahda’s forward was tripped inside the box while turning to shoot. The referee pointed to the spot, and the home captain stepped up to send the goalkeeper the wrong way. Tishreen pushed for an equalizer in the closing stages, but Al-Wahda’s defense, led by a veteran center-back, cleared everything thrown into the box.

Post-Match Notes:

• Winning Goal: Penalty by Al-Wahda’s captain (63’).
• Clean Sheet: Al-Wahda’s goalkeeper made four saves, including a crucial stop from a header in stoppage time.
• League Impact: The victory moves Al-Wahda Damascus into the top four of the Syrian Premier League, while Tishreen SC drops to mid-table.

This was a classic example of a narrow win built on defensive solidity and taking one key chance. Al-Wahda will be delighted with the result, while Tishreen SC will rue their missed opportunities.
