• Al-Faisaly vs Al-Hussein: tight title race intensifies in Jordanian league

The curtain fell on Friday evening over Matchweek 24 of the Jordanian Pro League, a round that kept fans on edge until the final minutes and further tightened the title race at the top, as the competition enters a decisive “do-or-die” phase where no margin for error remains.

Al-Faisaly maintained its grip on first place after a hard-fought win over Al-Salt, with the “Blue Eagle” waiting until the 90th minute to secure victory through Mohamed Al-Hallak. The result lifted their tally to 52 points, level with closest challengers Al-Hussein Irbid but ahead on head-to-head record.

Al-Hussein, however, responded emphatically, sweeping aside local rivals Al-Ramtha with a convincing 3-0 win. Goals from Youssef Abu Jabaloush, Ashley Kofi, and Youssef Qishi sealed the match early, allowing Al-Hussein to draw level on 52 points with Al-Faisaly.

Al-Ramtha, meanwhile, remained stuck on 42 points in fourth place despite the heavy defeat.

Al-Wehdat kept their hopes alive with a clear 3-0 victory over Shabab Al-Ordon, thanks to goals from Mohammed Al-Mawali, Mohannad Samreen, and Mahmoud Shoukat. The win takes them to 49 points in third place, still within striking distance of the top two.

Battle at the bottom and shifting standings

At the other end of the table, the relegation battle saw dramatic swings. Al-Ahli staged a remarkable comeback against Al-Sarhan, winning 3-2 in a thrilling encounter powered by a historic hat-trick from Ahmed Abu Kabir, lifting them to 20 points while leaving Al-Sarhan bottom with just six.

Al-Baqa’a also secured a vital win over Al-Jazeera (2-1), moving up to 28 points and narrowing the gap with Al-Jazeera and Al-Salt, both stuck on 29 points. Shabab Al-Ordon sit eighth with 22 points following their defeat to Al-Wehdat.

Overall picture

The latest round confirms one of the most competitive seasons in years, with neither the title race nor relegation battle decided. With points tightly packed at both ends of the table, the remaining fixtures are expected to resemble knockout-style clashes, placing huge physical and mental pressure on teams in the final stretch of the season.
