Player ratings14 Sep 2026
Both of them Malcom's — 8.43
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.43, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

A falling-out at Al Jazira
Kristjan Asllani and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Match12 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 Jazira and Al Wasl in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.
Match12 Sep 2026
Al Jazira come up short against Al Wasl
Al Wasl left with the points after a 2‑4 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

CSKA Moscow tell Al Jazira: Vladislav Torop is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

One of our own: Abdullah Juma joins the Al Jazira first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Abdullah Juma is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Milson 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.
The dugout14 Sep 2026
Faisal Al Bloushi: “No excuses”
“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 2‑4, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Too much change too quickly at Al Jazira
5 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.
