Al Raed’s North African Trio Shine in Al Nassr Upset

Exciting Matches in the Roshn Saudi League

Al Fayha continued their impressive form with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Al Shabab, extending their winning streak to four matches in the Roshn Saudi League. Henry Onyekuru opened the scoring for Al Fayha from the penalty spot just after halftime, before adding a second goal in the 74th minute. Despite Al Shabab pulling one back through an own goal, Al Fayha sealed the win in added time with Saud Zaydan finding the net.

Over at Khamis Mushait, Damac ended their winless run in 2024 with a 1-0 victory against Al Wehda. An own goal from Abdulelah Bukhari secured Damac’s first win since December, with Al Wehda also reduced to ten men after Jawad El Yamiq’s red card. Despite a disallowed goal in added time, Damac climbed to sixth place as they look to secure a higher position in the league standings.

Meanwhile, Al Nassr’s title hopes took a hit as they succumbed to a 3-1 defeat against Al Raed. Karim El Barkaoui opened the scoring for Al Raed before Ayman Yahya equalized for Al Nassr. However, Mohammed Fouzair and Amir Sayoud scored for Al Raed to secure the victory, leaving Al Nassr nine points behind league leaders Al Hilal.

Al Raed’s North African trio’s impressive performance stunned Al Nassr and boosted their chances of avoiding relegation as they moved five points clear of the drop zone. This victory marks Al Raed’s first win in four games, offering hope for a strong finish to the season.

With these results, Al Fayha, Damac, and Al Raed have all made significant impacts in the Roshn Saudi League, setting the stage for an exciting conclusion to the season as teams jostle for positions in the league standings.
