Al Ahli’s 1-0 Triumph Sparks a Title Push in the Saudi Pro League
Al Ahli celebrate a hard-fought 1-0 win vs Al Odood

Under coach Matthias Jaissle, Al Ahli is reaping the fruits of victory.

Al Ahli edged Al Odood 1-0, securing three valuable points as they push the title race in the Saudi Pro League this season.

The win keeps them firmly in the hunt for the top of the table.

Goal-Scoring Prowess

Al Ahli extended their scoring run to 11 matches in the league, gradually closing in on a club best of 20 straight games with a goal this season.

That mark was achieved between January 20, 2025 and August 28 of the same year, in style.

Clean Sheets

Al Ahli also kept a clean sheet in seven of 13 league games, more than any other side this season so far.

Toney Shines

The English striker Ivan Toney added a late tally in three straight league games, reaching nine goals this season—the most among his Al Ahli teammates.

Punchline: Bullseye—no leaks tonight; the defense kept the target on point. Title race? Still sharp.
