ALJOUF —
Syrian striker Omar Al Somah etched another iconic moment in his storied career, netting a remarkable hat-trick to steer Al Orobha to a convincing victory over Al Riyadh, and taking his total to 154 goals in the Saudi Pro League.

Al Somah, who has played 193 matches since his arrival in the league, widened the gap over Moroccan forward Abderrazak Hamdallah (148 goals from 161 games), further solidifying his reign as the all-time leading scorer in the competition’s history.

His treble didn’t just boost his tally — it also placed him in an elite group of only three players to have scored against 25 different Saudi Pro League teams, equaling a record shared by Hamdallah and Salem Al Dawsari.

In an era of rising global stars and tactical shifts, Al Somah continues to shine as a symbol of enduring excellence. His scoring instinct remains razor-sharp, proving again that he is not only prolific but remarkably consistent.

With his historic numbers and relentless form, Al Somah remains a central figure in Saudi football’s narrative — a timeless striker still shaping matches and rewriting records with each round.
