Riyad Mahrez fires Al-Ahli to the top of the league!

Riyad Mahrez continues to leave his mark on the Saudi Pro League. The Algerian international once again made headlines in Al-Ahli’s 3-1 victory over Al-Ittihad on Friday night in Jeddah, as part of the 25th round of the championship. The Fennecs winger netted his team’s second goal on the hour mark, further cementing his growing influence in the Saudi club’s attacking play.

This win allows Al-Ahli to temporarily claim the top spot in the table with 62 points. The Jeddah side currently sits ahead of Al-Nassr, who have a game in hand and are set to face Neom SC in the next round.

Individually, Mahrez is enjoying a particularly outstanding season. The former Manchester City winger now boasts 7 goals and 13 assists in 32 appearances across all competitions. This positive momentum comes at just the right time for Vladimir Petkovic’s Algeria, who are set to play two friendlies against Guatemala and Uruguay during the upcoming international break in March.
