The first round of the Lebanese football league highlighted the shape of the competition this season.
Victories were expected for Ansar, Nejmeh, Jwaya, and Safa.
The Ahed meanwhile suffered a surprise draw against Tripoli, a team expected to be the dark horse of the championship.
On the other hand, Tadamon Sour managed to snatch the points in its match against Shabab Al Sahel late in the game.
Some players may need more time to adjust to their teams, so attention will turn to the coming rounds of the league.
What stood out in the first round was the absence of any lopsided wins, with points instead decided by narrow goal margins.
As usual, some refereeing decisions sparked debate, though none amounted to blatant controversies.
It was also noted that fan attendance fell short of the desired level.
All eyes will now turn to the second round to see how the competition unfolds.
