Late winner, towering record: Omar Al-Soma fuels Al-Hazm’s win in Saudi Pro League thriller
Soma nets a late winner as Al-Hazm defeat Al Akhdoud in a tense Saudi Pro League clash.

Match Moment

Omar Al-Soma, the Syrian ace for Al-Hazm, kept his scorching form alive as they beat Al Akhdoud 2-1 in Round 22 of the Saudi Pro League.

The veteran forward netted the decisive goal in the 83rd minute, converting a left-sided cross with clinical precision.

Records and Standings

With that finish, Suma moved to 159 league goals, extending his lead at the top of the Pro League's all-time scorers list, and bringing his career contributions to 181 (159 goals and 22 assists).

He widened the gap to Moroccan star Hamdallah, who sits second with 151 goals, helped in part by Hamdallah’s missed games due to injuries.

Impact and Perspective

In total, the 36-year-old has 181 goal contributions in the league, comprising 159 goals and 22 assists, cementing his place among the most influential players in Saudi Pro League history.

These numbers underscore Suma's status as one of the most influential players in Saudi football history.

And with the gap widening, Hamdallah may need a calendar change to catch up.

Beyond the numbers, Suma's late-game prowess is shaping the title race, and fans chant his name as if every goal justifies his winter vacation from the defense.

Punchline: If his scoring spree goes on, the ball will start charging him rent for staying in the back of the net.

Punchline 2: If he keeps scoring, the league might rename the trophy after him—call it the Suma Shield.
