Pitso Mosimane's Abha FC climbed out the relegation in the Saudi Pro League after a goalless draw against Damac on Friday evening.
Mosimane's side came into the clash on a high after securing a 3-1 victory over defending champions Al Ittihad last weekend, boosting their relegation hopes in the process.

Abha were given the incentive of moving out of the relegation zone after Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr defeated Al Akhdoud on Thursday night.
The home side missed a big chance to open the scoring on 16 minutes after being awarded penalty. Former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak stepped up but failed to convert, as the first half ended goalless.

Mosimane's charges were unable to find the back of the net in the second period and were forced to settle for a share of the spoils.
Despite not getting the win, Mosimane's charges move out of the drop zone and into 15th spot but they could be dragged back in if Al-Tai defeat Al-Raed on Saturday.
Abha will have tricky opposition next weekend when they take on third-place Al Ahli, who boast the likes of Riyad Mahrez, Roberto Firmino and Franck Kessie.
