Saudi League: Al-Bulaihi Sets Record with Red Card
Al Shabab Club achieved its first victory in the Saudi Professional League for the 2026-2027 season, defeating Al Taawoun 3-0 in Matchweek 8. Despite playing with one fewer player after defender Ali Al-Bulaihi was sent off in the 32nd minute following a tackle on one of Al Taawoun's players, Al Shabab managed to extend their lead with two additional goals from Yannick Carrasco and Ricardo Matias, with the latter scoring the second goal in stoppage time. Carrasco also netted the third goal in the 85th minute, cementing the team's win. This victory raised Al Shabab's points tally to 7, while Al Taawoun remained in 17th place with 3 points. It is worth noting that after his red card, Ali Al-Bulaihi set a negative record in the Saudi league's red card stats, reaching a total of 5 red cards in his career. He is also sidelined from the upcoming match against Al Ittihad due to suspension resulting from the red card.
