A brace, and Luvannor takes the afternoon — 6.90
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Luvannor provided it, and the 6.90 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Morato, 34, rolls back the years — 8.10
There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.10 at 34, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Ahmed Karenshi puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Al-Faisaly, and it is not being withdrawn.

Eduardo Henrique in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Al-Faisaly this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Words at Al-Faisaly training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Abdullah Al-Mogren is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The manager makes an example of Rodrigo Burgos
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The manager has not finished forgetting Luvannor's mistake
Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.
Match22 Aug 2026
Honours even between Al-Faisaly and Al-Fateh
2‑2, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Walberto Agámez joins Al-Faisaly to strengthen the squad
Nobody sells a season ticket on a signing like this. Every manager who has been through a bad October wants one anyway, and Al-Faisaly have gone and got theirs early.
