Al-Khaleej stun Al-Ahli with dramatic late goals in Roshn League

Al-Khaleej delivered a stunning performance to defeat Al-Ahli 3-1 in a dramatic Roshn League encounter. The hosts managed to secure all three points by capitalizing on late-game opportunities, causing one of the first major upsets of the season.

The deadlock was broken in the 32nd minute when Iker Kortajarena slotted home a pass from Coba da Costa. Although Al-Ahli dominated possession for stretches and managed to equalize through Ivan Toney in the 66th minute following an assist from Eduard Spertsyan, they could not maintain their momentum.

The match turned in the final stages as Al-Khaleej regained the lead in the 86th minute through Julian Dominguez, who fired home from close range. Mohammed Sawaan then cemented the result in the 90+2 minute, unleashing a powerful left-footed strike from outside the box to leave the visitors with no way back.

The result marks a significant moment for the side from Al-Rass, who showed clinical efficiency while Al-Ahli struggled to convert their pressure into a positive outcome despite multiple changes in the second half.
