Moroccan player Abderrazak Hamdallah continued to make history in the Roshn League, after scoring a new brace for Al-Taawoun during a 3-2 defeat against Al-Kholood on Saturday evening, in the second round of matches, adding a new milestone to his rich career on Saudi pitches.
The Moroccan striker's first goal came in the 52nd minute, after he capitalized on a precise pass inside the penalty area, successfully handling it with a decisive touch to put the ball in the net, giving Al-Taawoun a strong boost and bringing his team back into the match.

In the third minute of stoppage time, Hamdallah returned to confirm his goal-scoring instinct, rising to a ball inside the penalty area and converting it with a powerful header into the net, signing his second goal of the match, though it was not enough to spare Al-Taawoun from defeat.
Although Hamdallah's brace did not earn his team the three points, it granted him a significant historical gain, as he equaled Syrian player Omar Al-Soma's achievement as the player with the most goal involvements in the history of the Saudi Professional League.
