An Expert Reveals the Legality of Al-Ahli's Decisive Goal Against Al-Riyadh
The refereeing expert, Mohamed Kamal Risha, resolved the controversy surrounding Al-Ahli's winning goal against Al-Riyadh in the 24th round of the Saudi Roshn League.
Al-Ahly clinched a hard-fought victory with an own goal scored by Riyadh's goalkeeper Milan Borjan by mistake in his own net in the 75th minute, granting his team three valuable points.
Risha confirmed in statements to the "Al-Riyadiya" newspaper that the goal is legally valid, emphasizing that there was no violation warranting cancellation during the ball's contact.
He explained that the Frenchman Valentin Atangana naturally rose to the ball without committing a foul or obstructing the goalkeeper, considering that Borjan misjudged its trajectory and put it into his own net.
The Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium hosted the match, which saw intense competition until the final minutes, before Al-Ahli secured the victory.
Al-Ahli started the match with a lineup that included Mendy, Zakaria Hawsawi, Merih Demiral, Roger Ibanez, Mohamed Abdulrahman, Franck Kessié, Valentin Atangana, Ziad Al-Juhani, Galeno, Ivan Toney, and Gonçalves.
With this victory, Al-Ahli tops the Saudi Professional League standings with 59 points, leading by one point over Al-Nassr, who is preparing to face Al-Fayha in the same round.
