Match

The wait goes on for Al-Wehda

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 one-man rearguard from Abdullah Al-Owaishir

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.

Player ratings

Darwin González runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 26. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings

A defender's goal wins it for Al-Wehda — 7.77

1 for Masoud Bakheet, marked 7.77, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Match

6 goals as Al-Wehda and Al-Fateh go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Al-Wehda and Al-Fateh, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Match

Al-Fateh take the points off Al-Wehda

Beaten 2‑4, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Words exchanged at Al-Wehda

Farouk Chafaï 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Abdullah Al-Owaishir

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Abdullah Al-Owaishir, and the manager let it.

The dugout

Abdullah Al-Qahtani: “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.

Market

Abdulmohsen Fallatah agrees terms with Al-Orobah

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Al-Wehda people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market

Not going: Mohammed Al-Qunayan stays at Al-Wehda

“I know what people will say. I know what I want, and it is here.” Ohod had the fee agreed and the shirt ready; they did not have the player, and now they will not.

Boardroom

Al-Wehda go back to the board over Osama Al-Mermesh

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $350.0K — a club that wants Osama Al-Mermesh enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets

Al-Wehda bid $41.0K for Awad Dahal

The offer went to Al-Ettifaq this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Transfer targets

Al-Fateh tell Al-Wehda: Habib Al-Watyan 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.

Squad

Morato 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-Wehda this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Al-Wehda promote Bandar Al-Mutairi from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Bandar Al-Mutairi has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Al-Wehda promote Salman Al-Rashid from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Salman Al-Rashid has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Squad

Salem Al-Maqadi stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Salem Al-Maqadi and Al-Wehda agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
