7 November 2025
Match overview
Salem Al-Dosri, captain of Al Hilal, returned to peak form in the Saudi Pro League, delivering five historic numbers in the clash against Al Najmah. The match ended 4-2 in favor of the visitors, played at King Abdullah Sports City in Buraydah during Round 8 of the season.
Key moments and contributions
The duel swung early when Al Najmah opened the scoring in the third minute, but Dosri struck back in the 10th with a well-timed finish to level the score. The Tornado then sealed the result with a late fourth goal, dribbling past the goalkeeper and tucking the ball into the empty net. In between, he laid on the assist that set up Theo Hernandez to equalize at 2-2.
Dosri also played a part in the third goal, delivering a pass to Marcos Leonardo who was subsequently fouled by Jawad Al-Yamiq, earning a red card for the defender. Ruben Neves converted the resultant free kick to put Al Hilal ahead again.
Historical rating and wider impact
SofaScore awarded Dosri a perfect 10 out of 10 for the performance, a rare mark in football analytics. Neves was close behind with 8.3, underscoring the collaborative nature of the win. Dosri finished with three shots, two on target, and four key passes that produced one assist and two accurate crosses.
His influence extended far beyond the two goals: he completed 63 passes at 89 accuracy, including 58 of 66 in midfield, and touched the ball 96 times while attempting nine dribbles, succeeding six times. He also participated in 13 duels, winning ten, and made two ball recoveries in addition to two successful interceptions.
First league goal of the season
Dosri opened his tally for the season with the equalizer, marking the first goal of the campaign for him in the Saudi Pro League. Prior to this match, he had appeared in five league games without a goal, contributing three assists. In the six league appearances since, he has added two goals and four assists, maintaining a prolific rate of contribution.
Milestones and record runs
The night also featured Dosri extending his streak to 15 consecutive seasons with a goal in the Saudi Pro League, a tally tracked by the league’s official statistics. He began this scoring run in the 2011-2012 season and has continued to find the back of the net across 15 campaigns. The assist-laden performance helped Hilal push their own records as well, extending a scoring streak for the club in league play to 78 matches in a row.
According to Eight TV, Dosri's second goal of the night took him to 82 goals in the Saudi Pro League, making him Al Hilal's all-time top scorer in league competition, moving past Fawzi Gomis. He sits fifth in the all-time Saudi Pro League scorers list, level with Cristiano Ronaldo, reflecting a remarkable era for the captain of Al Hilal.
DOSRI and the team now hold a stronger position in the league table, with the history books printing more pages for the player who continues to redefine what a single match can mean for a club and its fans.
Final thoughts
Dosri did not just score; he authored a night that will be quoted by fans and analysts for years. The numbers tell one story, but the feeling on the ground was a reminder that football remains a game of moments, and Dosri owns plenty of them.
Punchline 1: If Dosri keeps this up, the league might start charging rent for all the goals at the back of the net. Punchline 2: Tonight the stadiums didn’t just hear cheers; they heard a five-record symphony—and Dosri was the conductor with signature goal spray.
