yf3599220845 says Al Ahli let Tony down
But Al-Ahli’s players let down Tony as usual in the last match, and I wonder who benefited—God is sufficient for me, and He is the best Disposer of affairs. It’s the duty of everyone to pass to Tony, so what’s the point if so-and-so and such-and-such score? The duty is for them to rally together and say Tony has to score a super hat-trick. They let him down and let us down, and this only happens in Al-Ahli club—this thing is extremely important, for its sake they fought history.
The four-goal display also pushed Al-Ahli’s total league goals for the season to 71, setting a new club record and surpassing the previous mark of 69 achieved during the 2024/25 campaign.
