German Matthias Jaissle, the head coach of Al-Ahli club, praised his team's important victory over Al-Kholood, emphasizing that securing the three points is a top priority at this stage of the season.

Al-Ahli defeated Al-Kholood 1-0 in the match held at King Abdullah Sports City Stadium, as part of the 16th round of the Roshn Saudi Professional League.

Yaisleh emphasized during the press conference after the match that some games require focusing more on the result than on the performance, especially when the encounter is technically challenging.

The German coach explained that facing Al-Khulood was not easy due to the opponent's strong defensive organization, noting that achieving five consecutive victories is a positive indicator of the team's progress.

Yaislah also addressed the substitution of Ryan Hamed in the 69th minute, explaining that his exit and the entry of Mohammed Bakr was purely a tactical decision, with no other physical or technical reasons involved.

He added that such changes aim to maintain the team's balance on the field and ensure continuity until the final whistle.

With this victory, Al-Ahli strengthened its position in the league standings, occupying second place with 34 points, three points ahead of Al-Nassr, who are in third place.
