Saudi Pro League: Riyad Mahrez rewarded!

Riyad Mahrez dazzles under the colors of Al-Ahli! The captain of the Algerian Fennecs has once again been highlighted by the Saudi Pro League, which awarded him the title for the best goal of the 28th matchday.

Just before the match against Al-Wehda on Tuesday, Mahrez was celebrated for his sublime performance against Al-Fayha during his team's resounding 5-0 victory.

In the 82nd minute, the Algerian genius bewildered the defense on the right wing before unleashing a curling low shot nestled into the far bottom corner. Video:

Mahrez, the Algerian magician confirms!

This is not a first for the Fennecs superstar (97 caps, 31 goals), who was already honored earlier in the season for his spectacular goal against Al-Okhdood, a top-corner strike during the 8th matchday.

In top form, Mahrez put on a real show against Al-Fayha: three assists from corners, a penalty won, and a goal to cap off the display. Result: 33 decisive actions this season (15 goals, 18 assists) in 38 matches, a record already surpassing his first year in Saudi Arabia.

The Algerian magician confirms: he is indeed one of the major artists of the Saudi championship.
