Al-Shabab defeated Al-Khaleej 4-0 on Saturday night to maintain their flying start to the Roshn Saudi League season, which has seen them top the table with seven wins and a draw from eight matches.
Their only dropped points of the season so far came last week in the 1-1 draw against champions Al-Hilal, who themselves were involved in a dramatic 3-2 win over Al-Tai on Saturday.
Al-Shabab’s goals came from Carlos Carvalho after only seven minutes, Cristian Guanca (62), Aaron Boupendza (87) and Hattan Bahebri in stoppage time at the end of the match.
Meanwhile, Al-Hilal came close to dropping more points after letting slip of a two-goal lead at Al-Tai, only for Ali Al-Bulaihi to score in the 89th minute to secure the 3-2 win.
