Player ratings

Sultan Al-Ghamdi, 20, steals the show — 8.06

Marked 8.06 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Squad

Amin Abu Khalifa signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Amin Abu Khalifa and Al-Mojzel agree another 3 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Al-Mojzel

Talal Al-Juhani was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The terraces

Al-Mojzel supporters have found a favourite in Waleed Al-Shammari

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Waleed Al-Shammari has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match

Al-Mojzel find a way past Ohod

Ohod made Al-Mojzel work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The dugout

Lerato Ntamane gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad

Talal Al-Mutairi out for 29 days

The medical room confirms 29 days on the sidelines for Talal Al-Mutairi, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Player ratings

Amin Abu Khalifa was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 16. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad

Faisal Al-Essa: “I am not a substitute”

“I have done everything asked of me in training and it has not changed a thing on a Saturday.” The most familiar complaint in football, and one Al-Mojzel will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.

In brief

Squad

Ibrahim Al-Dosari keeps Al-Mojzel in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 11 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Match

Nowhere to hide for Al-Mojzel

1‑4 against Damac, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Waleed Al-Shammari at 21 — 7.65

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Waleed Al-Shammari did not need any: 7.65, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

Words exchanged at Al-Mojzel

Sami Al-Ghamdi and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Talal Al-Mutairi out for 58 days

The medical room confirms 58 days on the sidelines for Talal Al-Mutairi, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad

Words at Al-Mojzel training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Fahad Al-Qahtani 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 dugout

Sultan Al-Ghamdi gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Boardroom

Nobody left the Al-Mojzel dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

The dugout

Waleed Al-Juhani: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 1‑4, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

In brief
