Hamdallah is chasing Al-Somah's historic record: 6 goals separate him from the top
Veteran Moroccan star Abderrazak Hamdallah , the Al-Shabab striker, continues to write new chapters in the story of footballing brilliance on Saudi pitches, proving day after day that he is one of the most prominent goalscorers in the history of the Saudi Professional League. With each round, the pressure mounts on his long-standing record, as he steadily draws closer to the title of "All-Time Top Scorer in the Saudi League."
A new goal reduces the gap in the top match of the round
On a thrilling night of football at the SHG Arena in Riyadh, during the 24th round of the Saudi Professional League, Hamdallah once again made his mark. Despite Al-Hilal's resounding 5-3 victory in the classic encounter, "Al-Sati" managed to score his team's second goal in the 44th minute, bringing his personal tally to 153 goals in his league career.
This goal was not just an additional number, but a pivotal step that reduced the gap between him and the leader of the historical list, the Syrian star Omar Al-Somah (former Al-Ahli striker and current Al-Hazm striker, according to the context of the news), to only 6 goals , as Al-Somah sits on the throne with 159 goals, while Nasser Al-Shamrani comes in third with 126 goals.
An exceptional goal-scoring career in Saudi stadiums
This statistical achievement cannot be discussed in isolation from the historical context of Hamdallah's career in Saudi Arabia. Since his arrival in the Saudi Professional League, the Moroccan striker has delivered outstanding performances, whether with Al-Nassr, Al-Ittihad, or currently with Al-Shabab. Hamdallah is a relentless "goal machine," boasting one of the highest scoring rates globally relative to minutes played, making him a constant nightmare for defenders and goalkeepers alike.
Hamdallah's approach to breaking Omar Al-Somah's record is highly significant, especially considering that Al-Somah has been a formidable force in the scoring equation for many years. The rivalry between these two prominent names has enriched the Saudi league and given it considerable media and fan attention across the Arab world.
Impact of the event and the future of the conflict
With several rounds remaining in the competition, all eyes are on Hamdallah in every match he plays. His anticipated success in breaking the record will not only be a personal achievement but will also rewrite the history books of the Roshan League, especially given the tremendous development the competition has witnessed and its attraction of the world's brightest stars. The presence of a player who maintains his scoring consistency amidst such fierce competition underscores his immense talent.
Saudi and Arab fans are eagerly awaiting the moment when the stadium announcer might declare Hamdallah's 160th goal, officially crowning him a new king on the throne of top scorers, in a historic race that proves that the Saudi League was and still is a breeding ground for legends.
