The Al-Mojzel Sentinel
Squad28 Sep 2026
Mohammed Al-Khaibari stands alone
19 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.
Match26 Sep 2026
Chastening afternoon for Al-Mojzel
A 1‑5 beating by Al-Hazem was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.
Match26 Sep 2026
No end in sight to Al-Mojzel's wait for a win
7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Al-Mojzel has to find a result from somewhere.

Hamad Al-Shehri goes up and wins it — 7.72
A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.72 for the rest of it.
Squad28 Sep 2026
A falling-out at Al-Mojzel
Mohammed Al-Ahmadi and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Match26 Sep 2026
Nobody could stop scoring
6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Al-Mojzel and Al-Hazem in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.
Market28 Sep 2026
Ahmed Al-Harbi is free to find somewhere else
“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Al-Mojzel has been clear about where Ahmed Al-Harbi stands, which is more than many ever get.

Inquest at Al-Mojzel
The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.
The dugout28 Sep 2026
The manager’s verdict
“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 1‑5 Yasser Al-Otaibi left the room before anybody could ask which.
In brief
- The dugout Abdullah Al-Sulami dropped after a run of poor form
- The dugout Omar Al-Ghamdi gets it from the manager
- Player ratings Sultan Al-Shehri runs at them all day
