Coach praises discipline and focus

Commenting on the match, head coach Ziad Al Nattour said: "The players delivered a performance that reflects the focus and balance we have worked on since the start of the season. Their discipline in executing instructions and controlling the game’s tempo was evident throughout all four quarters. We view every match as a step towards reinforcing the team’s stability, and we aim to maintain this level as we enter a decisive phase of the league.
