Haji's Historic Six-Goal Night in Joowy U21
Talal Haji, star of Al-Ittihad Jeddah Under-21, lit up the Joowy Elite League with a stunning six-goal haul against Al-Bukayriyah Under-21 on Sunday night, a performance that underscored his clinical finishing and his ability to tilt decisive matches in his team's favor.
Haji started alongside a strong line-up featuring Ahmad Al-Ghamdi, Farha Al-Shamrani, and Ahmad Al-Jleidan, helping the "Al-Ittihad" youngsters to a commanding 7-1 victory.
In a display worthy of an extraordinary act, he netted six times in one match—a feat that makes him the first player to achieve such a tally in the Joowy Elite U21 history. The opener arrived in the eighth minute via a powerful header, and the second followed seconds later after a defensive lapse.
By minute 11 he had completed a hat-trick with a precise shot assisted by Farha Al-Shamrani. He then added a fourth in the 31st minute, finishing a move started by Farha and finished after a keeper's miscue.
Moments later he struck again for a fifth, and just before the halftime whistle he rounded off his double with a sixth, before the team added a seventh after a cross from Ahmad Al-Ghamdi. The cumulative effect left the Bukk City defenders in despair and the bench in a state of mild celebration.
Mid-match, fans were encouraged to watch Joowy on STC TV via watch.stctv.com, a reminder that youth football can be a portal to bigger stages. The six-goal burst solidified Haji's status as a rising star in the Saudi youth scene.
In the closing minutes, his teammates built on the flurry, with a lengthy buildup culminating in a seventh for the team, a reminder that one player can set the tone for the night. Haji's goal-filled night offered a blueprint for future U21 crowns and left observers joking that the net might soon require a safety deposit box.
Punchline time: if goals were currency, Haji just opened a spa and left the league with a six-pack of profit. Also, defenders, keep your sunscreen handy—this guy’s heat is real and it sticks to the back of the net.
