"Ivan Toney scored a penalty in the 104th minute as Al-Ahli came back from a goal down to defeat Al-Taawoun 2-1. Toney stepped up at the end of an epic period of stoppage time to dispatch the winner and take Al-Ahli to within seven points of Saudi Pro League leaders Al-Hilal. Zakaria Hawsawi cancelled out Roger Martinez's first-half stoppage-time penalty, and despite a late red card for Ibanez, Toney managed to snatch all three points at the death."
"A quiet first half was close to finishing goalless, but Al-Taawoun took the lead from the spot as Martinez sent Abdulrahman Al Sanbi the wrong way after Merih Demiral fouled Fulgini in the box. Mohammed Al Kuwaykibi missed a golden chance to double Al-Taawoun's advantage two minutes into the second half after his shot from close range was smothered by the Al Ahli goalkeeper at the near post. Al-Taawoun were made to rue that miss just after the hour mark."
Al-Ahli recovered from a one-goal deficit to beat Al-Taawoun 2-1 thanks to Ivan Toney's 104th-minute penalty. Roger Martinez opened the scoring from the spot late in the first half after Merih Demiral fouled Fulgini. Zakaria Hawsawi equalised with a header just after the hour mark following a lofted pass to Toney. Ibanez received a second yellow and was sent off, leaving Al-Ahli reduced to ten, but Demiral earned the late penalty after beating Muteb Al Mufarrij. Al-Qadsiah recorded a 5-0 victory over Al-Fayha with Julian Quinones scoring a hat-trick. Al-Ahli produced 2.13 xG from 11 shots versus Al-Taawoun's 1.03 from five.
