Nobody could get near Faisal Al-Otaibi
Successful dribbles: 63. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Ibrahim Al-Mansour scores twice — 8.90
Two goals and a mark of 8.90 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Ibrahim Al-Dawsari hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Al-Mojzel can pretend not to have heard.

Al-Nahda come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Al-Mojzel did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Santiago Martínez 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.

Faisal Al-Otaibi 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.

Reinaldo Ocampo has outgrown this division
There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Al-Mojzel know it, and so does everybody who watches him.
Match22 Aug 2026
Honours even between Al-Mojzel and Al-Jeel
2‑2, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Youssef Al-Shammari falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
