Al Shabab forced a winner-take-all third game in their best-of-three Golden Square semi-finals against Al Ahli in the 2022/2023 Khalid bin Hamad Bahrain Handball League.
Shabab set up the decisive clash after staying alive in the series with a hard-earned 25-23 win over Ahli in game two held last night at the Bahrain Handball Association Arena in Um Al Hassam.
Shabab did well to fight back in the final 30 minutes of the contest after trailing by a slim 12-14 margin at the half.
The result followed Ahli’s thrilling 30-29 penalty shootout victory in their first meeting. Game three is scheduled to take place on Thursday.
The winner of the ShababAhli match-up will face the victor of the other Golden Square series between defending champions Al Najma and Al Ettifaq.
Najma won game one of their best-ofthree encounter 30- 28 and will be looking to close things out in the second game tonight.
A win for Ettifaq would send their series into a decisive third game, which would take place on Friday, if needed.
