Henry Onyekuru was at the double once again as Al Feiha recorded a narrow 3-2 win away at Al-Shabab in the Saudi Pro League on Thursday evening.
The Nigeria international has been one of the go-to players for goals for the Orange this season and did not disappoint when he converted from the penalty spot in the 50th minute before doubling his side’s lead 14 minutes later when Ivory Coast’s Ghislain Konan laid the ball for him to finish off with ease.

It was Onyekuru’s ninth league goal of the season which put him just one strike behind Al Feiha’s leading league scorer in Zambia striker Fashion Sakala.
Vuk Rasovic’s men struggled to hold on to their lead and it allowed Al Shabab to find their way back as Abdulraouf Al Dakheel and Senegal forward Habib Diallo levelled matters.

Al Feiha however had the last say when Saud Zaydan’s shot took a heavy touch off Al Shabab goalkeeper Mohammed Al Absi on its way in.
The victory sees Al Feiha remain in ninth spot on the table with 31 points after 23 games.
