Al-Ahli defeated Al-Hazem 3-1 in a Saudi Pro League Round 7 fixture played on 11 September 2026 at Prince Abdullah Al Faisal Stadium in Jeddah, with kick-off at 18:00.
The visitors made a dream start, with Ahmed Al-Nakhli putting Al-Hazem ahead as early as the second minute. Al-Ahli responded quickly, however, with Francisco Trincão levelling in the 21st minute. Ivan Toney then took over, converting a penalty in the 32nd minute before adding a third right on the stroke of half-time in the 45th minute.
All four goals came in a lively first half. Despite five minutes of added time in the second period, neither side found the net after the break, and the match finished 3-1 in Al-Ahli's favour.
Where Al-Ahli stand
With this result, Al-Ahli's record stood at four wins, no draws and three losses, giving the club 12 points at that stage of the campaign. The three-goal haul in the opening 45 minutes underlined the team's attacking threat, with Toney's double proving decisive.
For football fans across Jeddah and beyond, the fixture was another chapter in a competitive Saudi Pro League season. The result keeps Al-Ahli firmly in the mix as the rounds progress, and Toney's clinical finishing will be a talking point ahead of the club's upcoming matches.
