The Al Ahli Post

Adel Abubaker Fadaq breaks a bone — 64 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 64 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.
Match17 Oct 2026
Al Nasr punish Al Ahli for switching off
2 goals to the good, and then a slow surrender of everything that had been earned. Salem Al Junaibi will not be the one blamed for it, but nobody at Al Ahli escapes the conversation that follows a collapse like this.
Player ratings19 Oct 2026
Salem Al Junaibi scores twice — 8.31
Two goals and a mark of 8.31 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Nicolás Campisi keeps Al Ahli in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Jacob Awoute is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 21 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Hamdan Nader 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 Ahli this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

One of those days for Walid Ismail
There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.21, and no argument anywhere in the ground.
Match17 Oct 2026
Al Ahli and Al Nasr take a point apiece
It finished 3‑3, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Rashid Khalfan will replay that one
1 error, one goal, and a night in front of the same three seconds. He will see it tonight, tomorrow and probably in February, and everybody who has played knows exactly which frame he keeps stopping on.
In brief
- Market Sultan Rashid leaves for nothing
- Market Hamad Omar leaves for nothing
- Player ratings Nobody could get near Abdullah Khalfan
