Mahrez scores and reconciles with Saudi Al-Ahly fans

Supporters of Al-Ahly Saudi Club chanted loudly the name of the national team star, Riyad Mahrez, on Thursday, following the huge victory recorded by the representative of the city of Jeddah when he arrived as a guest of the Abha Club.

Al-Ahlawians scored a goal in Abha with a full six-pointer, in the fifteenth round match of the Saudi Roshan League Championship, which was hosted by Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium in Abha.

Al-Ahly raised its points tally to 30 points after this victory, placing it in third place in the general standings of the competition, behind both the poles of Riyadh City, Al-Hilal (leader, 38 points) and Al-Nasr (runner-up, 34 points).

Vega is the star of the match

The confrontation between Abha and Al-Ahly witnessed the brilliance of the young Spanish star, Gabri Vega, who scored two goals and gave two assists to each of his Ivory Coast teammates, Franck Kessie, and the Algerian Riyad Mahrez.

The Sovascor statistics platform gave the former Celta Vigo player the highest rating in the match, 10/10, after his distinguished performance in midfield.

Mahrez is the most influential player in the league from Al-Ahly

Mahrez continued to lead Al-Ahly club’s top scorers in the Saudi Roshan League, after scoring his seventh goal since the beginning of the competition.

The Desert Warrior’s mission was not limited to scoring and leading the “Royal” attack, but also included creating goals, as he shares the lead among the players who provide the most assists with the legend Cristiano Ronaldo (Al-Nasr) and Moroccan Mourad Batna (Al-Fateh), with 7 assists.

The numbers and statistics did justice to the national team star, especially since he is superior to several stars included in the team. However, that did not prevent Al-Ahly supporters from criticizing him after his recent exit.

Mahrez shared a post with his followers on the “X” platform, in which he commented with the phrase +1, which indicates his satisfaction with the result of the draw in the match in which Al-Ahly received its counterpart Al-Shabab in the last round of the local league.

Al-Ahly fans did not like Mahrez’s post, which they considered provocative, so the player responded to that reaction and deleted it later.
