In a top-of-the-table clash that kept fans on edge until the final seconds, Al-Faisaly once again confirmed their superiority after winning the derby against their traditional rivals Al-Wehdat by 93–90.

The match, hosted at Prince Hamzah Hall in Al-Hussein Youth City on Thursday evening, was far from an ordinary game; it was a true display of intensity and rivalry between the two giants of Jordanian sport.

The contest began with strong focus from the “Blue Eagle,” who finished the first quarter ahead by a single point (22–21), before extending their advantage at halftime to (49–45).

Despite a strong comeback by the “Green Giant” in the third quarter, during which they moved ahead (70–67), Al-Faisaly’s experience proved decisive in the closing moments.

Al-Faisaly owe this victory to their standout import, Brian Holmaz, who crowned himself the star of the game after scoring 33 points, leading his team to the top of the standings with 27 points, while Al-Wehdat remained in third place with 21 points.
