Young striker Abdulaziz Al-Hatila led his team Al-Akhdoud to achieve 3 valuable points after scoring the only goal of the match that brought Al-Akhdoud together with its guest Al-Fateh at Prince Hathloul bin Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium in Najran, as part of the 27th round of the Saudi Professional League.
The match witnessed mutual control from both teams, and the touches of the Tunisian coach Fathi Al-Jabal appeared in his first mission with Al-Akhdoud, who appeared more organized and more harmonious. Their player Khaled Nari almost opened the scoring, but Al-Fateh goalkeeper Fernando Pacheco managed to deflect it for a corner kick with difficulty. Before the end of the first half, the young striker Abdulaziz Al-Hatila made his first scoring mark in the match after receiving a pass from Basogog, to shoot it powerfully to the left of Pacheco, who was unable to stop it, so it went into the net as a goal for Al-Akhdoud (42nd minute).
In the second half, Al-Fateh dominated the match in search of an equalizer, but the brilliance of goalkeeper Samuel Lima prevented that. He excelled in saving more than one ball, the most dangerous of which was Murad Batna’s header. The match ended with Al-Akhdoud winning by one goal to nil, and Al-Akhdoud’s star, Abdulaziz Al-Hatila, deservedly and rightfully received the Man of the Match award.
With this result, Al-Akhdoud achieves its fourth victory and reaches 16 points, placing it in 17th position and 6 points away from the nearest safe positions, while Al-Fateh suffered its 13th loss and its tally remains frozen at 28 points in 13th place.
