Al-Faisaly hammered Al-Jazeera 6-1 in the tenth round of the Jordanian Pro League on Friday night.
The scoring opened in the ninth minute with an own goal from Alaa Warq of Al-Jazeera, gifting Faisaly the early edge.
Musa Giaba Tom equalized for Al-Jazeera in the 12th minute to restore parity momentarily.
Majdi Al-Attar nudged Faisaly ahead in the 17th minute, followed by Ahmad Al-Arsan striking in the 21st to make it 3-1.
In the second half Faisaly extended their lead with a second goal in the 50th minute, the team’s fourth, and the onslaught continued.
Lee Irwin, the Scottish forward, added the fifth in the 72nd minute, and Amin Shenaineh completed the scoring in stoppage time at 90+1.
With the result, Faisaly climbed to 25 points, sitting top of the table temporarily before Ramtha versus Al-Wahdat is played, while Al-Jazeera remained on 11 points in sixth place.

Results, Standings, and Key Moments
Earlier on Friday, Sama Al-Sarhan hosted Al-Baqa in a 1-1 draw, with Dimba Diakate opening for Sama in the sixth minute and Amer Abu Aqila leveling for Baqa in the 43rd.
Sama picked up their first point of the season, while Baqa moved to 11 points and seventh place with a forthcoming match in hand against Al-Wehdat.
Al-Salt defeated Shabab Jordan 2-0, with Yousef Al-Rawashda scoring in the 41st and Hazem Ziad sealing it in the 90+5th minute. Shabab Jordan missed a penalty in the 23rd minute, a moment of cruel irony for a side hoping to climb the table.
Al-Salt rose to 15 points in fifth place, while Shabab Jordan sat on eight points in eighth. Hussein Irbid earned a dramatic home win over Al-Ahli, 2-1, with Pedro Henrique levelling in the 78th and Mohammed Daoud ensuring a late winner in the 90+9th minute.
Hussein Irbid moved up to 21 points, third place, while Al-Ahli remained at four points in ninth. The round’s other results tightened the race at the top and middle of the table.
As the drama built, the stage was set for the much-anticipated clash between Ramtha and Al-Wahdat, a match carrying the weight of history and revenge for Ramtha after beating Al-Wahdat in the opening round and precipitating a managerial change at the latter club.
Ramtha sit second with 23 points under the guidance of coach Miljan Radović, while Al-Wahdat are fourth with 16 points, and both sides are counting on familiar faces to tip the balance in the upcoming fixtures.
The league this season is played in three phases, with the eventual champion decided after all phases when the ten teams have completed their schedule.
Hussein Irbid, champions in the two previous seasons,, along with Faisaly, Al-Wahdat and Ramtha, are chasing a return to glory, hoping to break the recent dominance of the title holders.
Note: This is a rewritten summary of the match report. It stays faithful to the events while adding light humor for a fun touch at the end.
Punchline time: If football is a game of inches, tonight’s inches were made of six goals and one own goal—talk about a mis-hit that actually hit the right target. Punchline two: The league is three phases this season; apparently the trophy needed a long weekend to consider its options. Please bring snacks for the ride; this season promises more twists than a pretzel factory.
