Standout Performances:
Jesus commended the contributions of several players, singling out Abdullah Al-Hamdan and Nasser Al-Dawsari. "Al-Hamdan delivered an excellent performance, and Nasser showed remarkable dedication despite playing while unwell," he said, referring to Al-Dawsari’s efforts despite recovering from the flu.
Fan Support:
The coach extended his gratitude to the passionate fans, particularly those positioned behind the goal, for their unwavering support throughout the match. "The energy from our supporters makes a huge difference. They inspire the players to push harder," he added.
Looking Ahead:
