Before the starting whistle, the players of the “Blue Crescent” and “Tigers” teams held an honorary walk for Al Owais, who was bearing the title “Gulf 27” the moment he entered the green rectangle, in appreciation of his role in his companions’ ascension to the podium.

Mohammed Al Owais kept his net clean throughout the matches, receiving the best goalkeeper award in the tournament held in Jeddah. Al Owais plays for Al Hilal Club, but he was not in the starting lineup during the match against Al Ittihad Club, at the Kingdom Arena, on Saturday, in the eighth round of the “Roshen” League.

The Saudi team won the championship title after defeating its Emirati counterpart in the final match by two goals to nothing.
