RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (Interstat) — Aaron Appindangoye and Mehmet Feyzi Yıldırım each scored a goal Sunday as Al Riyadh defeated Al Taraji 2-1 in a Saudi Arabian Second Division match at Prince Turki bin Abdul Aziz Stadium.

Gianni Bruno put Al Taraji ahead in the 11th minute, but Appindangoye, a defender, equalized in the 49th minute with his first goal of the season. Yıldırım, also a defender, scored the winner in the 70th minute off an assist from substitute Alperen Selvi. Midfielder Valon Ethemi also recorded an assist for Al Riyadh.

Al Riyadh improved to 1-1-3 in the competition and 5-15-6 across all competitions. Al Taraji fell to 9-14-10 in the competition and holds the same mark overall.
