The 28 round of the Saudi Professional League (SBA) was brought down on Saturday, after only 8 games were held, and one was postponed that would have brought together al-Hilal and Ahli Jeddah on Friday.

The Tour defined the scoring of 26 goals during 8 matches, and the youth and father’s showdown was the highest scoring, with “Liuth” winning the 5-0 result.
The 27 of a yellow card, along with two expulsions from Abdul Ilah Mohammed, a Riyadh player, against Al-Tai, as well as Zambian Fashion Sakala, a star of Al-Faiha, in front of Al-Nasr, were noted.
4 players succeeded in scoring doubles during the 28th round, with Senegal’s Sadio Mane, the star of Victory, shaking Al-Fayha’s net with two goals, during his team’s 3-1 victory.
Belgium’s Yannick Carrasco and Brazil’s Carlos Jr., the two youth players, also scored two goals apiece in the Abha game.
Dejanini Tavares also managed a double, during Al-Fatah’s 3-1 victory over the Major.
Manny follows in Hamdallah’s footsteps
