Ivan Toney’s Golden Touch Continues
Ivan Toney remains unstoppable in the Golden Boot race with 25 goals across the season. The former Brentford sensation’s scoring form has been crucial to Al-Ahli’s success. Toney leads Julián Quiñones of Al Qadsiah by a single goal in the fierce battle for league recognition.
Riyad Mahrez and Enzo Millot provided solid support in attacking midfield, creating space for Toney’s clinical finishing. The experienced pairing has become crucial to Al-Ahli’s attacking fluidity.

Damac Struggles Continue as Relegation Battle Looms
Damac remains in 15th place with just 22 points from 26 matches. The significant gap between Damac and safety continues to widen as stronger teams pull away. With only 4 wins all season, the struggling outfit faces an uphill battle to avoid the inevitable drop.
The lack of attacking threat was evident throughout the match at King Abdullah Sports City. Defensive vulnerabilities on display suggest structural issues harder to fix as the season reaches its critical phase.
What Do Al-Ahli’s Recent Results Mean for the Title Race?
Al-Ahli’s pursuit of the championship gains momentum with consistent victories against weaker opposition. The gap to Al Nassr remains significant at 8 points, but continued dominance could shift the narrative. Every three points earned brings them closer to the leaders in an increasingly tense battle.
The remaining fixtures will prove decisive as Al-Ahli looks to capitalize on any slip-ups from above. Toney’s form and consistency suggest Al-Ahli possess the finishing power to challenge for honors on multiple fronts.
