Al-Ahli is again closing in on Al-Nassr in the standings and the two teams currently have the same 22 points. Al-Ahli has just won with a score of 3-1 over its opponent Al-Wehda and in this match Mahrez contributed with 1 goal and 1 assist. However, it was not only Mahrez who shone, but Saint Maximin and Roger Ibanez also contributed the winning goal for Al-Ahli. I think Al-Wehda is not a suitable opponent for Al-Ahli because the depth of the squad is already very different. Towards the end of the match, Al-Wehda actually suffered a loss by losing 1 player due to a red card and I don't think they had to do that because it was clear they would lose in this match.
This is what i have called that interesting!. As a newly promoted club and spending so much money really gave very big impact to the performance from the club. I do aware about how al ahli was trying to rebuild the club to make sure it will not be relegated again after it has been promoted to the SPL.
Nassr and ittihad's position is not safe caused by it has a new competitor even though ahly was also in the same umbrella with nassr and ittihad. Al hilal is leading the way and thanks for mitrovic to become the best player in SPL.
On the other hand, Al-Ettifaq actually failed to steal points in the away match against Al-Riyadh and Steven Gerrard's troops had to accept a narrow defeat against the hosts. Even though Al-Ettifaq dominated in terms of ball control, they conceded due to a lack of discipline in defense. Even though Al-Ettifaq still have a long time, they failed to equalize or make a comeback in this match and this result means that Al-Ettifaq has to settle for sitting in 7th position in the standings.
It's not even surprise. This club was always playing so garbage. That's the reason why i didn't even take this club. I would rather than bet in another match instead of al ettifaq. This club is a complete fail under gerrard. Gerrard is not having passion to be a good coach.
Any clubs being handled by him will always failed. I have seen some rumors ettifaq will try to buy lindergard to strengthen its attacking line which is useless. lindegard was not as good as what he used to be
Ettifaq shall have sacked gerrad otherwise it will be on the disastrous season.
