Teshrin end long wait to seal third Syria league title
Homs: Teshrin ended a wait of 23 years to lift the Syria Premier League title after defeating Al Karama 1-0 in their final match of the season on Tuesday.

It is the third time Teshrin have lifted the title and Mohammad Marmour was the hero, with the Syria national team midfielder scoring the only goal as the club finished on 59 points.

Teshrin’s previous titles were won in 1982 and 1997.


Teshrin went into the tie just a point ahead of Al Wathba, who were held 1-1 by eventual third-placed finishers Hutteen SC in their final tie.

Outgoing champions Al Jaish defeated Al Foutoua 6-1, Mohammad Al Wakid scoring a hat-trick to finish as the top scorer with 20 goals.
