Round 10 of the Roshn Saudi League got under way on Sunday, October 18, and delivered one of the season’s most dramatic finishes: Al-Khaleej came from two goals down to beat Al-Fateh 3-2 at Al-Fateh’s home ground in Al-Ahsa.
The hosts looked in control for most of the evening. Lukas Haraslin opened the scoring in the first half, and Wilfried Kanga doubled the lead around the hour mark. Al-Khaleej then turned the match around in the final stages: Musa Barrow pulled one back, Joshua King equalised six minutes later, and Omar Mascarell struck the winner in stoppage time.
The victory was Al-Khaleej’s second in a row. It came days after their first win of the campaign, a 2-0 home success against Al-Fayha in round 9. The team from Saihat moved to 12 points and 10th place, while Al-Fateh stayed on 6 points in 16th.
On Monday, October 19, Al-Fayha host Al-Ahli in Al-Majmaah, Al-Hilal welcome Al-Hazem at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, and Al-Shabab play Al-Faisaly at SHG Arena. On Tuesday,
October 20, Diriyah face Al-Riyadh, Al Taawoun host leaders Al Qadsiah in Buraidah, Al Ettifaq meet Al Ittihad in Dammam, and Al-Nassr take on NEOM at Al-Awwal Park.
Al-Qadsiah lead the table after a 2-1 win over Abha on Friday, October 16, with Mateo Retegui and Mohammed Abu Al-Shamat on the scoresheet, a result that moved them above Al-Hilal.
