Super Eagles forward Anayo Iwuala has added another major honour to his career after helping Al Arabi SC clinch the Crown Prince Cup in a dominant win over Al Kuwait SC.
The victory in the Crown Prince Cup final proves the club’s pedigree after securing their 10th title in the competition’s history.
Anayo Iwuala Crown Prince Cup Triumph With Al Arabi
The Nigerian winger was part of a disciplined and clinical Al Arabi side that rose to the occasion at the Jaber Al Ahmad International Stadium.
The game was tightly contested in the first half until Al Kuwait were reduced to ten men just before the break following a straight red card.
That turning point shifted momentum firmly in Al Arabi’s favour, allowing them to control possession and dictate the rhythm of the match after the restart.
Mohammad Khaled eventually broke the deadlock in the 54th minute, settling early nerves for Al Arabi. From that moment, the team looked more confident and purposeful in attack.
Ali Khalaf added a second goal late in the match, before Zaid Qunbar sealed the victory with a stoppage-time strike that confirmed a commanding finish.
Al Arabi SC Capitalise on Numerical Advantage
With Al Kuwait down to ten men, Al Arabi SC fully exploited the space and fatigue in the opposition ranks.
Their tactical patience paid off as they stretched play, created openings, and wore down the defence.
Iwuala’s contribution in attack and build-up play helped maintain pressure, even when he did not appear on the scoresheet.
After the final whistle, he celebrated the achievement on social media, expressing gratitude and ambition for more success ahead.
The focus now shifts to the Kuwaiti Premier League Championship Group, where Al Arabi SC will continue their push for more silverware in the remaining fixtures.
