Al Zulfi and Al Fayha played out a goalless 0-0 draw in the Saudi Arabia Kings Cup on September 23, 2025, a result that sends the tie to a penalty shootout to determine who advances. In a match of few clear chances, both defenses were on top, leading to a stalemate after 90 minutes. Al Fayha, from a higher division, enjoyed more possession but struggled to break down a disciplined and deep-lying Al Zulfi block. The home team's best opportunity came from a counter-attack, but their forward shot straight at the goalkeeper. With neither side able to find a breakthrough, the match proceeded directly to penalties, where the drama of the cup would be decided from the spot, leaving both teams' fate hanging in the balance.
