Moroccan striker Abderrazak Hamdallah delivered one of the most remarkable individual performances of the season on Tuesday, scoring six goals and providing an assist in Al-Shabab’s overwhelming 13–0 win over Yemeni side Al-Tadamon in the Gulf Club Champions League.
Already the record holder for the most hat-tricks in Saudi Pro League history with 11, this “double” feat further cements his legacy as one of the most clinical strikers in Middle Eastern football history.
The result secured Al-Shabab’s place in the semi-finals and solidified Hamdallah’s position as the competition’s top scorer.
The match, played at the SHG Arena in Riyadh as part of the final group stage fixtures of Group B, had Hamdallah make an immediate impact. He opened Al-Shabab’s scoring involvement with an important assist in the 14th minute before embarking on an extraordinary scoring rally.
The 35-year-old found the net at the 34th, 43rd, 58th, 62nd, 65th and 68th minutes, completing a double hat-trick that has few parallels in modern professional club competitions.
His six-goal haul brought his total in the tournament to seven goals, making him the current leading scorer in the Gulf Club Champions League. That tally puts him ahead of many notable attackers like Wesley, Carrasco or Sherko Kareem.
