Riyad Mahrez once again proved that age is only a number as he inspired Al-Ahli Jeddah to a thrilling 5-1 win over Al-Qadisiyah in the Saudi Super Cup semi-final.
The Algerian star may not have found the net, but his creativity and composure made him the heartbeat of Al-Ahli’s attack.
Football statistics outlet SofaScore revealed that Mahrez repeated a historic feat, creating the most clear-cut chances in a single Saudi Super Cup match with three, a record he first set against Al-Hilal in last year’s semi-final. His latest display showed why he remains one of the competition’s most influential players.
The 34-year-old was unstoppable, providing two assists that tore apart Al-Qadisiyah’s defense. It marked the fourth time he has delivered multiple assists in one match for Al-Raqi, following standout performances against Al-Ettifaq, Al-Ain, and Al-Fayha.
Now, Mahrez shifts focus to the final against Al-Nassr on Saturday, carrying with him a record of 29 goals and 37 assists in 79 appearances since joining Al-Ahli. For fans, his magic feels endless.
