The Saudi League has been a hotbed of controversy and excitement in recent weeks, with Al-Hilal and Al-Nasr dominating headlines. Sports journalists Hani Al-dawoud and Abdulaziz Al-Zalal recently engaged in a heated debate on the “Action with Walid” program, dissecting the arbitration errors witnessed in matches involving these two powerhouse teams.
Al-Hilal reclaimed the top spot in the league after a commanding 5-0 victory over Al-Orouba, while Al-Nasr secured third place with a 3-1 win against al-Ukhdood. However, the victories were overshadowed by discussions surrounding refereeing decisions. Al-Dawoud expressed surprise at the Al-Orouba Club president’s focus on a referee asking for Cristiano ronaldo’s signature during their match with Al-Nasr,rather than addressing the Al-Hilal penalty kick. “I am surprised that the president of Al-Orouba Club is complaining about the referee who asked for Cristiano Ronaldo’s signature during his team’s match with Al-Nasr, while he did not talk about the Al-Hilal penalty kick,” Al-Dawoud remarked.Journalist Walid Al-Farraj responded,suggesting the president might consider the penalty valid. Al-Dawoud countered, “If he considers it true, than this is a big problem.” Al-Zalal added, “What do you think of a club that was awarded a penalty kick from outside the penalty area?” The debate, captured in a tweet from Action with Waleed, highlighted the ongoing scrutiny of refereeing standards in the league.
meanwhile,Al-Nasr faces a challenging upcoming match against Al-Taawoun,a team that has been performing strongly,recently securing a 3-0 victory over Al-Qadisiyah. This clash promises to be a pivotal moment in the league’s standings.

Interview with Dr.Samir Al-Hassan
Senior Editor: dr. Samir, thank you for joining us today. The Saudi League has been buzzing with excitement and controversy lately. Let’s start with the recent performances of Al-Hilal and Al-Nasr. What are your thoughts on their victories?
Dr. Samir Al-Hassan: Thank you for having me. Both teams have shown remarkable strength. Al-Hilal’s 5-0 win over Al-orouba was a dominant performance that solidifies their position at the top of the league. Al-Nasr’s 3-1 victory against Al-Ukhdood was also impressive, though it’s captivating to note that both wins were overshadowed by refereeing controversies.
Senior Editor: indeed, the refereeing decisions have sparked heated debates, especially among journalists like Hani Al-Dawoud and abdulaziz Al-Zalal. what’s your take on the discussions surrounding the Al-Hilal penalty kick and the referee asking for Cristiano Ronaldo’s signature?
Dr. Samir Al-Hassan: The debates are valid because they highlight inconsistencies in refereeing standards. Al-Dawoud rightly questioned why the Al-Orouba club president focused on the referee asking for Ronaldo’s signature rather than addressing the Al-Hilal penalty kick. If the penalty kick was awarded from outside the penalty area, as al-Zalal suggested, that raises serious concerns about the referees’ decision-making process. Such errors can substantially impact a game’s outcome and the league’s credibility.
Senior Editor: do you think these controversies are affecting the league’s overall reputation?
Dr. Samir Al-Hassan: While these discussions bring scrutiny, they also spark necessary conversations about improving standards. Fans are passionate and demand fairness.The league’s management must address these issues proactively to maintain trust and ensure the league’s growth.
Senior Editor: Moving forward,Al-Nasr faces a tough match against Al-Taawoun,who recently secured a 3-0 win over Al-Qadisiyah. How do you see this upcoming clash influencing the league standings?
Dr. Samir Al-Hassan: This match is pivotal. Al-Taawoun has been performing strongly, and if they can challenge Al-Nasr, it could shake up the standings. Al-Nasr needs to maintain their form, especially with Cristiano ronaldo’s presence, to secure their position. It’s a high-pressure game that will test both teams’ strategies and resilience.
Senior Editor: As the league continues to unfold, what should fans expect in the coming weeks?
dr. Samir Al-Hassan: Fans can expect more intense matches and, unluckily, likely more controversies as the competition heats up. Though, the league’s drama is part of what makes it so captivating. I believe there will be more focus on improving refereeing standards, and fans should stay tuned for thrilling encounters between these powerhouse teams.
