Player ratings

Salem Al-Subaie runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 39. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

A fracture rules Sultan Al-Sheikh out for 43 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Al-Mojzel will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Ali Al-Salem

16 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Al-Mojzel lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match

8 matches without a win for Al-Mojzel

The run now stands at 8, and the questions being asked around Al-Mojzel are no longer polite ones.

Player ratings

Turki Al-Sultan, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.64

A mark of 7.64 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad

Tempers go at Al-Mojzel

Salem Al-Subaie 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.

Squad

A fracture rules Sultan Al-Sheikh out for 50 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Al-Mojzel will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match

Chastening afternoon for Al-Mojzel

A 0‑8 beating by Al-Hazem was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Squad

Ali Al-Salem damages knee ligaments — 24 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 24 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

The wait goes on for Al-Mojzel

7 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad

A long afternoon for Saud Al-Ruwaili

Beaten 8 times, with 5 saves for company. Goalkeepers carry these scorelines on their record whoever actually caused them, which is the quiet injustice of the job.

Squad

Salem Al-Subaie 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-Mojzel this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

8 goals as Al-Mojzel and Al-Hazem go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 8 goals between Al-Mojzel and Al-Hazem, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

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.

Loan watch

Omar Al-Nemer counts the days

“I watch every Al-Mojzel game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Al-Faisaly runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

A fracture rules Sultan Al-Sheikh out for 57 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Al-Mojzel will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match

A hiding for Al-Mojzel

Beaten 3‑8 by Al-Fayha, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Squad

Ali Al-Salem damages knee ligaments — 31 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 31 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

The small margins put Al-Mojzel out

Out, 0‑8 to Al-Wehda, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Saud Al-Ruwaili

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

The terraces

Al-Mojzel are taken apart by Al-Wehda — and the town wants answers

It finished 0-8. A cup exit is a disappointment; this was a public dismantling, and the difference between the two is the number of people who will still be talking about it in August.

Match

The wait goes on for Al-Mojzel

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Player ratings

Ahmed Al-Dosari scored one and made one — 7.89

Two of the goals had his name somewhere on them, which is the afternoon a manager wants from anybody asked to both create and finish. 7.89, and 2 involvements.

Match

Nobody could stop scoring

11 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Al-Mojzel and Al-Fayha in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.
