Post-Match Moment
English forward Ivan Toni, striker for Al-Ahli Jeddah, spoke about the penalty he squandered against Al-Najmah in the Saudi Pro League.
Toni followed up with a hat-trick to propel Al-Ahli to a 4-1 victory over Al-Najmah on Thursday at Prince Abdullah bin Faisal Stadium in Jeddah.
After the game, he was asked about the miss and answered with a smile, telling Eight TV after the final whistle that he expected the question.
He added that the miss proves he is human, and the important thing was his response: a hat-trick and the win for his side.
This was his first missed penalty since joining Al-Ahli in 2024, after 24 successful spot-kicks in all competitions, before he tucked away line-number-25 at the end of the match.
Toni now has 23 goals this season in the Saudi Pro League, leading the scoring charts by five, ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo and Julián Quinones, the stars for their teams.
Sniper line: If penalties were video games, Toni just unlocked Hat-Trick Boss mode. Level up, goalkeeper.
Sniper line 2: Miss one? No problem; even snipers miss sometimes. The scoreboard loves a comeback.
