In a commanding performance, Al-Ahli secured a decisive 3-0 victory against Damac at the Al-Inmaa Stadium in Jeddah, marking a significant moment in their campaign in the Saudi Roshen League. This win not only showcased Al-Ahli’s dominance on the field but also tightened their grip on the league standings, bringing them closer to the top teams.

The match, part of the 27th round of the Saudi Roshen League, saw Al-Ahli’s goals come from a mix of skill and opportunism. Notably, Dhari Al Anazi scored an own goal, while Ivan Toney added to the tally, demonstrating Al-Ahli’s offensive prowess. This victory raised Al-Ahli’s points to 65, narrowing the gap with league leaders Al-Nassr to just five points.

Riyad Mahrez, a key player for Al-Ahli, was substituted in the 70th minute, marking the 22nd time he has been taken off this season. Despite this, Mahrez has had an impressive season, contributing to a total of 20 goals in 35 matches. His performance continues to be a focal point for the team, even as he faces a series of substitutions in recent games.

Al-Ahli’s record this season stands at 19 wins, 5 draws, and only 2 losses, placing them firmly in third position in the league with 62 points prior to this match. In stark contrast, Damac finds themselves struggling in 15th place with only 22 points from 26 matches, highlighting the disparity in form between the two teams.

The previous encounter between these two teams on April 4, 2026, also ended in favor of Al-Ahli, with a 2-0 scoreline, further emphasizing their recent dominance over Damac. As the season progresses, Al-Ahli’s consistency will be crucial as they aim to challenge for the top spot.

Looking ahead, the stakes remain high for Al-Ahli as they continue to chase the leaders. With each match, the pressure mounts, and the team’s ability to maintain their form will be tested. Details remain unconfirmed regarding the implications of Mahrez’s substitutions on his fitness and future performances.
