Match Moment
Algerian star Riyad Mahrez, winger of Al-Ahli Jeddah, teased his club's fans by reminding them of his historic vow to help the Riyadh-based side clinch the current Roshen Saudi League title.
Promise Reposted
Mahrez had promised the title to Al-Ahli during celebrations of the club's previous AFC Champions League triumph.
He decided to repost the historic vow video on his official X account in recent hours.

That came after Al Hilal's 2-2 draw with Al Taawoun in round 27 of Roshen, where they dropped two points, equal with Al Ahli in second place but ahead on goal difference, with seven rounds remaining.
Meanwhile Al-Ahli had just defeated Damk 3-0 on Saturday at home.
Punchlines: If football were a chess game, Mahrez would be delivering the checkmate with a cheeky grin. And if promises were goals, he’d be leading the table with overtime humor.
