"Two late goals ensured Al-Ettifaq's 3-1 victory over Al-Ahli, highlighting Al-Ahli's struggles to maintain leads throughout the season, losing crucial points."
"Al-Ahli, despite an early lead and being AFC Champions League holders, failed to secure points, dropping 15 from winning positions this season."
In the Saudi Pro League season's final home game, Al-Ettifaq stunned Al-Ahli with a late rally, winning 3-1. Al-Ahli initially took the lead through Ivan Toney's early penalty, aiming for their ninth win in ten matches. However, Al-Ettifaq equalized shortly after half-time with Mohammed Abdulrahman's goal. Late in the match, Georginio Wijnaldum converted a penalty following a foul by Edouard Mendy, and Madallah Al Olayan sealed the victory with a late strike. This loss marks a troubling trend for Al-Ahli, who have dropped 15 points from winning positions this season despite their AFC Champions League success.
