Just three minutes later, "Prince Harry" doubled the lead with a low shot that struck the post and nestled into the net, cementing his dominance at the top of the league's scoring charts with 26 goals and bringing his total goals in all competitions this season to 41.

In the second half, despite veteran goalkeeper Manuel Neuer leaving due to a recurrence of a calf injury, Bayern maintained their balance, with international Leon Goretzka completing the team's hat-trick in the 70th minute, benefiting from a pass from substitute Alphonso Davies.

The importance of the win and the title race
: This victory is of paramount importance to Bayern Munich, as it marks their second consecutive win after the Augsburg setback, bringing their points tally to 57. With this win, the Bavarians have restored their six-point lead over their closest rival and traditional adversary, Borussia Dortmund, who had put pressure on the team with their 4-0 victory over Mainz. This win strengthens Bayern's chances of retaining their beloved title and sends a strong message to their rivals about the team's technical and mental stability in the crucial stages of the season.

Werder Bremen's crisis deepens
. On the other hand, Werder Bremen is experiencing one of its most difficult periods, with its points tally stuck at 19 in 16th place, a position that threatens to force a relegation playoff. This is the second consecutive defeat for new coach Daniel Theon, putting the once-great club under immense pressure to avoid relegation, especially since it hasn't tasted victory since last November.

, Hoffenheim continued their strong performances with a 3-0 victory over Freiburg, consolidating their third-place position and bringing them closer to their Champions League dream. Bayer Leverkusen also bounced back with a resounding 4-0 win against St. Pauli, climbing to fourth place and intensifying the battle for European qualification.

On a night of football that fans of Unaizah will never forget, Al-Najma FC etched its name in the annals of the Saudi Professional League, securing its first-ever victory in the competition this season. This precious win came against Al-Kholoud FC with a score of 2-1, in a match held at King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Buraidah on Saturday evening, as part of the 22nd round of the tournament.

Match details and goals

The match was thrilling, with Al-Najma capitalizing on their opportunities effectively despite the visitors' relative control of the midfield at times. Brazilian Felipe Cardoso opened the scoring for Al-Najma in the 21st minute after a brilliant run that saw him face Argentinian goalkeeper Juan Cusani and expertly slot the ball into the net. In the second half, French star Bilal Boutouba extended the home side's lead with a powerful shot in the 56th minute, giving his team a comfortable advantage.

For its part, Al-Khulood tried to get back into the game, and Spaniard Iker Kortajarena almost reduced the deficit were it not for the brilliance of Al-Najma's Brazilian goalkeeper Victor Braga, who saved a certain goal in the 63rd minute. Al-Khulood's only goal came late in the 90+2 minute through a penalty kick executed by Argentinian Ramiro Henrique, ending the match with a long-awaited victory for Al-Najma.

The importance of winning and the context of the competition

This victory is of paramount importance, far exceeding the mere three points; it comes after a long 21-round winless streak that placed immense pressure on the players and coaching staff. This triumph represents a significant morale boost and could prove to be a turning point for the team in the remaining matches of the season, as Al-Najma strives to cling to its hopes of remaining in the top flight amidst fierce competition.

In the league standings, Al-Najma's victory raised their points tally to 8, and despite remaining in last place, narrowing the points gap is a crucial first step in their long journey to escape relegation. Meanwhile, Al-Kholoud's points remained at 19, leaving them in thirteenth place and intensifying the relegation battle in the Roshan League, which is witnessing unprecedented competition this season due to the strength of the participating clubs and the presence of international stars.

After a long wait and a series of disappointing results, Al-Najma's first football team finally tasted victory, achieving their first win of the 2025/2026 Saudi Professional League season. This valuable win came in the team's 21st attempt, as they defeated their guest, Al-Kholoud, by two goals to one, in the match that took place on Saturday evening as part of the 22nd round of the competition. It should be noted that the team has one match postponed.

Changing the coaching staff and the positive shock effect

This victory was more than just a fleeting three points; it was a direct result of the decisive administrative decisions recently made by the Al-Najma Club board. The win coincided with the debut of the new head coach, Serbian-British Nestor El Maestro, who took over from the dismissed Portuguese coach, Mario Silva. It seems the "shock" strategy has quickly paid off, as El Maestro has successfully reorganized the team and energized the players to achieve what they had failed to do in the previous 20 matches. This provides a positive indication of the new coach's ability to handle the psychological and technical pressures surrounding the team.

Performance analysis and disastrous figures

This result halted the team's continuous bleeding of points, as they had played 21 league matches without a single victory until this round, along with 5 draws and 15 heavy defeats. The statistics reveal the true struggles of "Faris Unaizah," particularly defensively, having conceded 42 goals – a very high rate that reflects the fragility of their back line and its vulnerability to opponents. Conversely, Al-Najma's attack has only managed 20 goals, an average of less than one goal per game, highlighting the significant task facing the new coaching staff in finding a balance between defense and attack.

The team's situation and the struggle for survival

Despite the overwhelming joy of this victory, the reality of the league standings remains painful for Al-Najma fans. Following this win, the team's points tally has risen to a mere 8, leaving them languishing at the bottom of the Saudi Professional League. This precarious position presents the team with a critical and extremely difficult challenge in their fight for survival. Al-Najma now needs not only to win, but also to achieve a series of positive results and hope for slip-ups from their direct rivals if they are to cling to their slim hopes of remaining in the top flight and escaping the looming threat of relegation.
