Maintenance complexities confront Paulo Sérgio in Saudi Arabia upon his device reassembly
Rewritten Article
Looks like Al-Akhdoud, under the tutelage of Paulo Sérgio, hit another snag in the Saudi Arabian championship yesterday. They took a 1-2 loss against Al-Wehda, even sliding into the relegation zone.
No goals were scored in the first half, but the team led by a Portuguese man took the lead in the 50th minute thanks to Pato, set up by Saviour, a former Casa Pia star. But Al-Wehda quickly replied, with Al Makahasi netting in the 55th minute. In the game's final stretch, Noor secured the deal for Al-Wehda (75').
As a result, Al-Akhdoud now rests at the bottom of the table with 28 points, only a single point behind Al-Wehda and two points shy of Al-Fateh (coached by José Gomes), Al-Fayha (coached by Pedro Emanuel), and Al-Orobah, all dwelling just above the relegation line.
