Moroccan star Abderrazak Hamdallah continued his journey towards breaking records in the Saudi Roshn League, as he is now just one goal away from matching the record as the top scorer in the history of the competition. This came after he scored a new goal today, Saturday, in the match between his team Al-Taawoun and the visiting Al-Ittifaq, which ended in a 1-1 draw in the twelfth round.
Abderrazak Hamdallah opened the scoring for Al-Taawoun with a penalty in the 26th minute, thus continuing to boost his scoring record and getting closer to the historic record held by Syrian star Omar Al Soma, who tops the list of all-time top scorers in the Saudi Professional League with 161 goals. The Moroccan striker is currently second with 160 goals, making him in need of just one goal to reach this great achievement.
Hamdallah’s brilliance is not limited to just scoring goals, but he also enhances his record as the player with the most goal contributions in the history of the Roshn League, having raised his total to 185 goal contributions, confirming his strong and influential presence among the most prominent players who have participated in the tournament. This achievement reflects his high ability to make a difference both by scoring and decisive passing.
Despite the impressive individual performance from the Moroccan striker and Al-Taawoun’s lead thanks to his goal, the team could not maintain the positive result as Al-Ittifaq equalized in the 90th minute through Abdullah Al-Khatib. This result postponed the home team’s celebration of their first victory this season, leaving the team in a difficult position in the standings.
With this result, Al-Taawoun raised their total points to 5, placing them seventeenth, while Al-Ittifaq reached 19 points, occupying seventh place. Saudi League fans eagerly await the next match to see if Abderrazak Hamdallah can achieve the historic feat and match Al Soma’s record.
