"With the champions not in action until they take on Al-Feiha on Thursday, Matthias Jaissle's men knew a sixth straight victory would take them within four points of the summit. They had to come from behind after Giorgos Masouras opened the scoring 19 minutes in, but Toney led a stirring second-half fightback. The former Brentford man powered Ali Majrashi's left-wing cross home in the 59th minute, and just eight minutes later, he reacted quickest to Anthony Moris spilling Galeno's shot to make it 2-1."
"Toney's hat-trick was his second in the Saudi Pro League, having also netted a treble in a 3-2 win over Al-Hilal on February 28, 2025. The England international has now scored nine of Al-Ahli's last 13 goals in the competition, netting 14 times this season - those goals have been worth 17 points to his team, the most of any player in the division."
Ivan Toney scored a hat-trick as Al-Ahli defeated Al-Khaleej 4-1, reducing Al-Hilal's lead in the Saudi Pro League. Giorgos Masouras opened the scoring after 19 minutes before Toney sparked a second-half comeback. Toney converted Ali Majrashi's left-wing cross in the 59th minute, reacted to Anthony Moris spilling a shot to make it 2-1, and finished from close range after Riyad Mahrez's header to complete his treble. Rayan Hamed volleyed a fourth after a corner scramble. Toney has 14 goals this season, nine of Al-Ahli's last 13, and his strikes have been worth 17 points.
