Round 13 Spotlight: Nunez and Toni Rule the Roshen Saudi Pro League with Goals, Assists, and Flair
6 January 2026
Round 13 Highlights
Darwin Nunez of Al Hilal and England’s Ivan Toni head the awards for Round 13 in the Roshen Saudi Pro League.
The Uruguayan striker claimed the prize for the round’s best goal after his first goal for the club helped secure a 2-0 win over Damac on Sunday.
Nunez had not scored in five matches before finding the net, a drought that ended with style and the first of many celebrations to come.
Ivan Toni earned the best assist award for setting up Merih Demiral’s goal in the 3-2 victory over Al Nassr on Friday, a performance that also saw Toni score twice and create the pivotal play in the Clasico.
The Englishman was outstanding in the big clash, scoring the opener and the second and then providing the assist for teammate Demiral’s strike.
The best save honor went to Maílson from Al Taawoun after he denied two chances from Musa Diaby and Roger Fernandez in a 1-0 defeat to Al Ittihad on Saturday.
These performances reflect a banner night for their teams and add spice to a league already buzzing with high-flying action.
Punchline: If goals paid rent, Nunez would own a penthouse after that one. Punchline 2: Toni’s assist was so precise, even the offside line looked surprised but kept its cool.
