IRBID, Jordan (Interstat) — Ittihad Al Ramtha maintained its unbeaten run in the Jordanian League with a 2-1 comeback victory over Shabab Al Ordon on Saturday at Al Hasan Stadium.

The home side, which entered the match with a commanding league record of eight wins and two draws, was forced to rally after conceding an early goal. The visitors, Shabab Al Ordon, stunned the home crowd in the 19th minute when midfielder Majd Al Zoubi found the net with a right-footed shot, giving his struggling team a surprising lead.

Ittihad Al Ramtha, which had not lost in domestic competition this season, pressed for an equalizer but faced a resilient Shabab Al Ordon defense through the first half. The physical nature of the match was reflected in three first-half yellow cards, shown to Mus’ab Al Lahham of Shabab Al Ordon in the 36th minute, followed by bookings for Khaled Al Thyabat of Ittihad Al Ramtha and Shabab Al Ordon substitute Ayham Hisham before the break.

The momentum shifted decisively in the second half. Ittihad Al Ramtha leveled the score in the 67th minute through substitute Abdallah Al Attar, who powered in a headed goal. The assist came from defender Khaled Al Thyabat, who atoned for his earlier yellow card with a key contribution.

The home team completed the turnaround in the 82nd minute. Forward Mo’men Al Saket delivered a decisive strike, curling a free kick past the Shabab Al Ordon goalkeeper for the winning goal. The assist was credited to midfielder Mus’ab Al Lahham.

The match grew increasingly tense in the final moments, resulting in two yellow cards deep into stoppage time. Shabab Al Ordon’s Fayez Draghmeh and Ittihad Al Ramtha’s Ahmad El Mughrabi were both booked in the 90th minute and the fifth minute of added time, respectively.

The result solidified the contrasting trajectories of the two clubs this season. Ittihad Al Ramtha improved its league record to nine wins and two draws, remaining a formidable force at the top of the table. Their overall record across all competitions now stands at nine wins, one loss and three draws.

For Shabab Al Ordon, the narrow defeat extended a difficult campaign. Their league record fell to just one win, eight losses and two draws, leaving them near the bottom of the standings. Their overall record across all competitions is now two wins, 10 losses and four draws. The loss also marked a second consecutive 2-0 defeat to Ittihad Al Ramtha this season, following the result from their meeting on Aug. 8.

The match outcome defied the pre-game projection from Interstat, whose game simulator had predicted a 1-1 draw. Their ELO rating system had given Ittihad Al Ramtha a 54.2 percent probability of victory.

Ittihad Al Ramtha will look to continue its strong form when it visits Al Faisaly SC on Thursday. Shabab Al Ordon, seeking to reverse its fortunes, will host powerhouse Al Wehdat SC on the same day.
