1 Wiped out any concerns fans and critics might have had against them in terms of their title credentials. We rarely see big wins against top tier teams and that too without their star striker Omar Al Somah. They’re now a point away from Al Hilal, and with…

1 Struggled to come up with goals but it was exciting to have a fresh breath of air in the form of Syrian playmaker Omar Khirbin (although he missed a penalty). LAST WEEK: 1 HIGH: 1 | LOW: 5 Latest result: Won at Al Ettifaq 1-0 Next SPL match: Home against…
