A one-man rearguard from Saleh Al-Mesmari
There were 7 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.
Match26 Sep 2026
3 matches without a goal for Al Fujairah
The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.
Match26 Sep 2026
Al Jazira take the points off Al Fujairah
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

No hiding place for Petar Panić
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Petar Panić, and the manager let it.

Sander Benbachir wants to go home
“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Al Fujairah can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Omar Khalfan answers for it
“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.
Looking ahead28 Sep 2026
Sultan Sabeel goes back to face Al Shabab
Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Sultan Sabeel’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Al Fujairah needing him to play as if none of it matters.
