Algerian star Riyad Mahrez fires up the Saudi Pro League with a remarkable strike.
Mahrez’s Stunning Strike Against Neom
The Algerian star Riyad Mahrez, winger for Al-Ahli, delivered a standout performance with a superb goal against Neom on Saturday night as Round 18 of the Saudi Pro League unfolded.
His side cruised to a 3-0 victory over Neom, lifting Al-Ahli to 40 points and moving back into second place, four points adrift of the leaders, Al-Hilal.
Mahrez struck the second goal in the 64th minute, blasting a rocket from outside the box after a brilliant through ball from Englishman Evan Tony, finishing with clinical precision.
That brilliant strike pushed his tally for Al-Ahli in the Saudi Pro League to 50 goal contributions since joining in the summer of 2023 from Manchester City.
Across 76 league appearances, Mahrez has notched 21 goals and 29 assists for the club, signaling he is nearing the century mark in terms of direct involvement with the team's scoring.
Punchline: If precision were a sport, Mahrez would be aiming for Olympic gold every season.
Punchline: He doesn’t just score—he files a five-star offensive rating every time he touches the ball.
