Salem Al-Dawsari Enters Arab Cup History with an Unprecedented Record
Salem Al-Dawsari marked a new milestone in his international career spanning over 13 years by becoming the first to record a series of consecutive goal contributions within a single tournament.
The captain of the Saudi national team provided an assist to Mohammed Kanno, who scored the winning goal 2-1 against Palestine in the quarterfinals of the 2025 Arab Cup at Lusail Stadium in the Qatari capital, Doha.
Al-Dosari opened the tournament by assisting both goals in the 2-1 victory over Oman in the first round, confirming his influential presence in every match he has participated in since the competition began.
The Saudi star continued his brilliance against the Comoros Islands, creating two goals and scoring a third, securing a valuable 3-1 victory for the "Green" team, before being given some rest during the match against Morocco.
Al-Dosari regained his spark against Palestine by winning a penalty in the second half, which Firas Al-Buraikan converted, and then delivering a perfect cross to Kanno near the end of the second extra half.
With this streak, the 34-year-old achieves goal contributions in three consecutive matches within a single tournament for the first time, adding a new milestone to his impressive international record with the Saudi national team.
