Saudi Arabia continued their preparation for the 2022 World Cup with a 0-0 draw against Honduras in Abu Dhabi on Sunday. Herve Renard’s team continue to be stubborn at the back but lacking in attack.

Here are five things we learned from their latest outing. 1. Cutting edge still absent The result takes Saudi Arabia’s unbeaten run to five games after two draws against fellow World Cup participants Ecuador and the US in September and then last week’s win over North Macedonia and draw with Albania.

While that won’t do the team’s confidence any harm, this was a game that the Green Falcons should have won. Honduras were not only without some of their regular starters, who are in action for their clubs, but also played the second half with only 10 men as Ivan Lopez was red-carded just before the break.

Despite the man advantage (the Central Americans actually had another player and the coach sent off late into added time), the Saudis could not breach the Honduras defense.
