Bissau-Guinean striker Alexandre Mendy scored all three goals for Al-Faisaly in the victory over Al-Kholood (3-2) on Thursday, October 15, 2026. His third goal, scored in the 85th minute, enabled his team to win at the end of a closely contested match.

Alexandre Mendy was the architect of Al-Faisaly’s success. The centre-forward opened the scoring in the 7th minute before doubling the lead in first-half stoppage time. After Al-Kholood fought back with two goals, the Bissau-Guinean striker scored the decisive goal in the 85th minute to complete his hat-trick.

This performance confirms his importance in Al-Faisaly’s attack. Mendy had already found the net against Al-Hilal on the opening day, on August 14, despite his team’s 4-2 defeat. His league goal tally will have to be updated to reflect this hat-trick.

The exact number of his international appearances and the date of his most recent international outing remain to be confirmed.
