KUWAIT CITY, April 11 In the third round of determining the champion of the "Zain" Premier Football League, Kazma defeated Al-Qadisiyah 4-1 at Al-Sadaqa and Al-Salam Stadium, securing a landslide victory. This victory helped Kazma maintain their second position by rising to 36 points, while Al-Qadisiyah remained in fourth place with their previous balance of 30 points.

During the first half, both teams lacked offensive seriousness, with Al-Qadisiyah unable to pose much of a threat. However, Kazma's offensive tactics proved to be better as they made two attempts to score in the first half. The first attempt came from Algerian defender Imad Eddin Ezzi, who was blocked by goalkeeper Khaled Al-Rashidi in the 16th minute, and the second from Palestinian defender Michel Milad, who missed the goal in the 30th minute.

Al-Qadisiyah had their first chance in the third minute of stoppage time, but Eid Al-Rashidi hit the ball straight at Kazma's goalkeeper, Faisal Al-Subaie. Kazma responded by scoring the first goal from a corner kick taken by Al-Fahd, with Bandar Bourisli heading the ball into Al-Qadisiyah's net in the fifth minute of stoppage time.

In the second half, Kazma appeared more disciplined than Al-Qadisiyah, with the former doubling their score through Shabib Al-Khalidi's header after Bouresli's cross in the 67th minute. The Spaniard Jay Dembley scored the third goal after penetrating Al-Qudsawi's depth in the 69th minute.

A penalty kick was awarded to Kazma after Shabib Al-Khalidi was blocked by Al-Qadisiyah midfielder Abdullah Al-Shamali inside the area, which Shabib converted into a fourth goal in the 72nd minute. In the first minute of stoppage time, substitute Meshaal Khaled scored a consolation goal for Al-Qadisiyah.
