Tonight, I went with a couple of lads to a football match between the home team al-Hilal from Riyadh and guests al-Ahli from Jeddah. The match was anticipated by the fans, especially we, al-Hilal fans, who can't forget the 3-0 defeat in Jeddah. The tension filled the atmosphere, and more than 10,000 fans remained silent waiting for the first goal. Al-Hilal captain Sami al-Jaber scored first with a fine rebound in the 6-yard-box. The opponents could not make any real chances, and the first half ended faster than we expected.
Early on the second half, al-Ahli scored the equalizer. The home team fought bravely to come back, but they were blocked by a strong defense and an unfair referee. I thought that only one player could score the winning goal. Ahmed al-Swaileh, who is, just like me, originally from Hassa, entered the match in the last five minutes. Last season, we had a similar situation against the same team, and al-Sawileh scored a late goal and led al-Hilal to win.
Actually, I was right this time. On the second minute of the injury time, al-Swaileh jumped and scored the winning header. Most fans could not believe it, however, I always believed in Ahmed al-Swaileh. He is one talented young player, and I think he could be the next big thing in Saudi football. # »
