Abderrazak Hamdallah shone brightly, scoring a hat-trick in Al-Shabab’s dominant 5-1 victory over Al-Khaleej in the 19th round of the Saudi Pro League.
After a balanced first half (1-1), the Moroccan striker turned the game in his team’s favor with three goals in the final 30 minutes, before Wesley Hoedt sealed the win in stoppage time.
The momentum shifted in the 63rd minute when Hamdallah broke free from Marcel Tisserand’s marking to open his tally with a precise header. He doubled the lead in the 77th minute, overpowering the Congolese defender before finishing with a low strike. Finally, he completed his hat-trick in the 89th minute with an unstoppable volley.
With this outstanding performance, Hamdallah now has 12 league goals this season, closing the gap to three behind Cristiano Ronaldo, the league’s top scorer, and just two behind Karim Benzema.
