Al Akhdoud’s miracle escape from relegation still has everyone stunned. Going into the final match, they needed a win and for Al Wehda to lose to secure their spot.
Coach Paulo Sérgio’s team was down 2-0 against Al Khaleej, with Kostas Fortounis scoring twice. But then they turned it around. They tied the game at 90+5 minutes and won it with a penalty kick by Juhaif at 90+15 minutes.
The Comeback
This comeback was huge. Al Akhdoud was in trouble, but Paulo Sérgio took over in February and saved the season. They were in second-to-last place when he arrived.
