Lebanon 0 Saudi Arabia 2: Fahad strikes again for Pizzi's side

Fahad Al Muwallad scored for the second successive game as three-time winners Saudi Arabia continued to impress at the Asian Cup.

Saudi Arabia booked their place in the Asian Cup knockout stages as they made it two wins from two in Group E with a 2-0 triumph over Lebanon on Saturday.

Fahad Al Muwallad scored for the second successive game for Juan Antonio Pizzi’s impressive side, who had brushed aside 10-man North Korea 4-0 in their opener at this year’s tournament.

A beneficial break off a Lebanon defender teed up Fawad to smash home the loose ball with his right foot, the ball flashing beyond goalkeeper Mehdi Khalil before he had time to react.
