Hat-Trick Humility: Evan Toni deflects the hype as Al Ahli crushes Al Khaleej 4-1

Match recap and Toni’s humble claim

English striker Evan Toni refused to crown himself the best player at Al Ahli after his hat-trick against Al Khaleej, saying the credit belongs to his teammates.

Toni’s hat-trick propelled Al Ahli to a 4-1 victory over Al Khaleej on Tuesday at the Al-Enma Stadium, in Round 17 of the Roshan Saudi Pro League.

Speaking after the match, Toni described it as a good game. They did not start well, but they fought back and clinched the three points in the end.

Asked about whether he is the best, he replied that he is not the best at Al Ahli; the team does everything and drives them to victories.

He added that they have a talented group of players and will compete with the big clubs, hoping luck stays with them.

With the win, Al Ahli moved to 37 points, second in the Saudi Pro League, four behind leaders Al Hilal who have one game in hand.

Punchline 1: If goals were stand-up, Toni just closed the show with a hat-trick—three punchlines, one roaring crowd, and no encore needed.

Punchline 2: The only hat-trick Toni plans next is a hat-trick of clean sheets from the defense—humor included, of course.
