The first half is over and Al-Ahli is 2-0 up against Al-Hazm. Surprisingly Firmino managed to score a brace in the first 10 minutes and indeed there is no doubt about his quality when it comes to scoring goals. Riyad Mahrez has also provided one assist so far and can't wait to see him also score on his debut for Al-Ahli. Meanwhile, Al-Hazm seems to be overwhelmed by the attacks that are continuously carried out by Al-Ahli and so far Al-Ahli has also dominated ball possession with a total of 66%. It looks like victory for Al-Ahli is guaranteed with this advantage and in the second half we will be waiting for Firmino to score his first hat trick with Al-Ahli.
Al-Ahli did very well in the opening match of the Saudi League, they had no trouble getting points. Maybe the opponent is a mediocre team, because statistically Al Hazm has never won against Al Ahli so far. What's more, currently the improvement of Al-Ahli is very visible, they bought the best players from Europa.
It's true, when viewed in terms of the quality of the players, al ahli is far superior compared to al-hazm players. Because it can be seen from the point of view of ball possession and from the point of view of passing the ball, the experts are indeed superior. Maybe because of the arrival of new players like Firmino, Riyad Mahrez and Maximin. Making al experts stronger and sharper on various fronts.
Then in last night's match, in the early minutes until the 17th minute, it seemed that al hazm really didn't move with the onslaught that was intensified by players from al expert. Maybe it's all because it's the first time playing again and indeed directly dealing with a team that can be considered as strong like the experts. That way, in the first fifteen minutes, Al Expert was able to score two consecutive goals, which were scored by Firmino. But for me personally, apart from the good game shown by Firmino, the game shown by Allan Maximin, in my opinion, is very good too. Because he always gives good opportunities/feeds to his teammates, and even several opportunities to launch shots on target and threaten the defense of al hazm.
