Kenyan international Masud Juma helped his Al-Faisaly side return to winning ways on Wednesday night as he scored the match winning goal that saw his team record a 1-0 victory over Al Qadisiya in the second tier Saudi Arabia Division 1 league.Having not scored in the previous two matches, the former Kariobangi Sharks attacker, who clinched the 2017 Golden Boot in the Kenya Premier League, ended his mini drought in front of goal as he struck on the 41st minute with the solitary goal of the game that sealed all three points.#الفيصلي يكسب #القادسية بهدف مقابل لاشيء https://t.co/VEbf9txo6l pic.twitter.com/Jvl4P8Pyqe— النادي الفيصلي السعودي (@AlFaisaly) May 10, 2023 The move started when Mohammed Al Amri was picked out down the left wing with a perfect long ball floated from the back.After beating his marker, with some stroke of luck, the left back layed the ball on a plate for the clever Juma who had made a clever run between the two opposing defenders, giving himself the easiest of tap ins as he slotted into an empty net to secure the victory.⚽️ | جمعه مسعود يحرز الهدف الاول #الفيصلي_القادسية pic.twitter.com/UykKZGCTDj— النادي الفيصلي السعودي (@AlFaisaly) May 10, 2023 The win ensured that Juma and his Al Faisaly side kept alive their hopes of finishing in the top four places which guarantees promotion to the top tier Saudi Professional League as they cemented their position in fifth place on 54 points, five behind Al Riyadh who are in fourth spot.The team however need to depend on favours to achieve their goal as only three games are remaining before the 2022/2023 season comes to an end.##NAJAVA_MECA_7244763##Elsewhere, Gaborone United, home to Kenyan duo Duncan Otieno and John Mark Makwatta, registered a 3-1 win over Sua Flamingoes in a rescheduled Botswana Premier League match played here at the National Stadium tonight.In the match that saw the Kenyan pair missing from the matchday squad, the Reds started the game slowly and went to the break trailing 1-0 through Mcebisi Moyo’s goal.The home side recovered after the break with Thatayaone Kgamanyane scoring a brace and a beauty from Mothusi Johnson delivering all three points.
