Saudis edge T&T 2-1
World Cup finalists Saudi Arabia beat Trinidad and Tobago 2-1 in a warm-up match on the Cote d'Azur on Saturday. Playing the same side that drew 0-0 with fellow finalists Jamaica last week, the Saudis went in front after 16 minutes through striker Sami Al-Jaber. Both sides constructed good build-up movements and Trinidad and Tobago equalized three minutes later with a fine shot from striker Irasto Knight. After the interval, the Saudi defense remained under pressure but the Trinidad and Tobago forwards were regularly caught in the offside trap. The Saudis, also dangerous up front, came close when Hussain Abdulghani's 78th minute shot from a tight angle crossed the face of goal. But a minute later, Ibrahim Sowayed put through a fine pass to midfielder Saeed Al-Owairan who scored the winner.
