Houssem Aouar shines as his goal earns place in prestigious Saudi League contest

Houssem Aouar has quickly become a name to remember in the Saudi Roshen Professional League.

The Algerian playmaker, now with Al-Ittihad Jeddah, produced a moment of magic that has pushed him into a thrilling three-way battle for the Goal of the Round award.

Aouar’s strike came in the second round when Al-Ittihad faced Al-Fateh. He glided past defenders with ease before calmly finding the net, sealing a 4-0 lead in a match that ended 4-2. His effort not only delighted the fans but also underlined his growing importance in the Saudi top flight.

He now finds himself in competition with Belgian star Yannick Carrasco of Al Shabab and Gambian forward Musa Barrow of Al Taawoun. The Roshen League’s official account on X shared the shortlisted goals, sparking debate among fans.

Carrasco impressed with a solo dribble and sharp finish against Al Jumbiem. Barrow, on the other hand, converted a clever long pass with precision in a 3-2 victory over Al Akhdoud.
