Dutch Engine Roars Back: Bergwijn Sparks Al Ittihad’s Surge in Roshen
31 December 2025
Bergwijn returns to form for Al Ittihad
Steven Bergwijn, the Dutch winger, returned to form for Al Ittihad in a key Saudi Pro League clash with Neom, scoring once and assisting Roger Fernandes in the first half.
Early goals set the tone
That early goal and assist set the tone, as Bergwijn linked with Fernandes to create chances and pressure Neom before the break.
First double since August 30
This was Bergwijn's first time this season to score and assist in a single match since August 30, following a double against Al Akhdoud in a 5-2 win.
After 123 days, he repeated the feat vs Neom, helping lift Al Ittihad toward a Roshen tally. Since joining last season, Bergwijn has 20 goals and 10 assists in 44 appearances.
Punchline: Bergwijn's engine didn't stall; it just downloaded an upgrade.
Punchline 2: If the league had a speed limit, he'd find a way to break it—with style.
