Elykhinia Leads Early Surge

Nigerian player George Elhennya, the striker for Al-Ittihad, scored in the first half as part of his scoring strategy, having netted all seven of his previous goals in the early minutes of matches. This includes six goals in the Saudi Pro League and two in the King’s Cup. Elhennya scored his 8th goal for Al-Ittihad in the first half, with his scoring beginnings dating back to a match against Al-Naqla in the King’s Cup. He has since added goals in the league against Qadsia, Al-Nasr, Al-Fayha, and Al-Ettifaq, with his most recent being against Al-Durrah in the 11th round. The player joined Al-Ittihad in January from Monaco on a contract until June 2029, relying on his early performances to continuously influence the team’s results.
