Jwayya 0–0 Al Nejmeh SC
Lebanese Premier League | 13 July 2026

Jwayya and Al Nejmeh SC played out a goalless stalemate at the Jwayya Municipal Stadium in a Lebanese Premier League encounter that saw both sides cancel each other out. The draw keeps Al Nejmeh in the title race, while Jwayya continue their fight to move away from the relegation zone.

Match Overview

From the opening whistle, it was clear that this would be a tactical, midfield-heavy affair. Al Nejmeh, one of Lebanon’s most decorated clubs, dominated possession (63%) but found Jwayya’s well-organized defense difficult to break down. Jwayya, meanwhile, looked dangerous on the counter but lacked the final pass in the final third.

Key Moments

The best chance of the match fell to Al Nejmeh in the 41st minute. A corner was met by the head of defender Khalil Khamis, but his effort was cleared off the line by a Jwayya defender on the post. In the second half, Jwayya’s striker Hassan Alaa latched onto a long ball and fired a volley just wide of the far post in the 67th minute. Neither side could find a breakthrough despite late pressure.

Tactical Story

Jwayya set up in a deep 5–4–1, packing the central areas and forcing Al Nejmeh to play wide. Al Nejmeh’s full-backs overlapped frequently, but crosses were dealt with comfortably by the home center-backs. The visitors’ lack of a true target man was evident, as they struggled to convert possession into clear-cut chances. Jwayya’s game plan was to absorb pressure and hit on the break, but their counter-attacks often broke down due to poor decision-making on the final ball.

Standout Player

Jwayya’s goalkeeper Ali Sbeity was the standout performer, making four saves, including a crucial diving stop in the 80th minute to keep out a low drive from Al Nejmeh’s Mohamad Haidar. His clean sheet contributed to a valuable point for his side.

Table Impact

The draw leaves Al Nejmeh in second place in the Lebanese Premier League, two points behind leaders Al Ahed. Jwayya remain in 10th place, three points above the relegation playoff spot. For Al Nejmeh, the dropped points could prove costly in the title race, while Jwayya will be satisfied with a hard-earned point against a top side.
