Egyptian forward Mahmoud Hassan “Trezeguet” marked his return to the Riyadh Saudi club with a 92nd-minute equalizing header against Al-Feiha on Sunday, October 11, 2026. The 1-1 draw in the Saudi Pro League followed a five-week injury layoff, providing a vital point for his team in the eighth round of competition.

Trezeguet Scores Late Equalizer for Riyadh

After being sidelined since early September due to a hamstring injury, Mahmoud Hassan Trezeguet returned to competitive action as a second-half substitute for Riyadh. His impact was immediate. In the second minute of stoppage time, he connected with a cross from teammate Fahd Al-Jizani to secure a 1-1 draw at the Al-Majma’ah Sports City Stadium.

The goal prevented Riyadh from suffering a defeat after Al-Feiha had taken the lead in the 16th minute through a goal by Brazilian winger Lazaro Vinicius. The result moved Riyadh to 9 points in the league standings, placing them in 11th, while Al-Feiha reached 7 points, situating them in 12th place.

Trezeguet’s participation was his first since the fifth round of the league, where he suffered a second-degree tear in his hamstring during a match against Al-Khaleej. This injury had previously kept him out of the Egyptian national team’s recent camp, which included matches against Angola, South Sudan, and South Africa.

Trezeguet Plans Gradual Return to Fitness

Trezeguet acknowledged the difficulty of the match and the necessity of managing his return after a prolonged absence. Following the game, he expressed gratitude for the outcome and outlined his plan for regaining full fitness.

Thank God for the draw against Al-Feiha. We tried to win, but it was a difficult match against a strong opponent. I am returning from injury recently, and I haven’t played for 5 weeks, so the return to participating in matches will be gradual.

The player had rejoined group training earlier in the week, with the coaching staff deciding to bench him at the start of the match to monitor his physical readiness before ultimately introducing him during the second half.

Trezeguet Records Shots During Brief Appearance

During his appearance, Trezeguet’s performance was statistically notable. He also attempted three shots, one of which was on target, and successfully completed one dribble and one aerial duel.

We will face Al-Hilal, which is a big team in the next round, and God willing, we will be lucky and come out with a positive result. Trezeguet
