Al-Dosari's Six Standout Numbers Light Up the Arab Cup
Al-Dosari’s six standout numbers highlight his influence at the Arab Cup in Qatar.

Performance snapshot at the Arab Cup

Saudi captain and Al-Hilal talisman Salah Al-Dosari delivered standout performances as the Arab Cup unfolds in Qatar, guiding the Green Falcons with intent, even though they were eliminated by Jordan in the semifinal.

Saudi Arabia's semifinal defeat to Jordan ended their hopes of lifting the trophy and earned them a meeting with UAE for the third-place decider.

What the stats say about Al-Dosari

According to SofaScore's match data, Al-Dosari contributed to six goals in the tournament—one goal and five assists—making him the Saudis' most prolific creator.

He also led his team with 15 shots, produced 10 key passes, created four clear-cut chances, and completed nine successful dribbles, topping the Green Falcons' charts.

Additionally, the forward was named the tournament's top playmaker with five assists—two against Oman, two against Comoros, and one against Palestine.

Despite this dazzling form, the Saudi campaign ended on a sour note as the team bowed out, underscoring the disappointment felt by Al-Dosari and fans alike.

On a lighter note, if football were a math test, Al-Dosari would be the hero who passes the ball and still gets an ovation. If assists paid salaries, he'd own the transfer market with one perfect pass.
