It was low drive into the bottom corner from a tight angle by Salem Al Dawsari and on the balance of play they probably deserved it more than Egypt, but then what about Salem al- Dawsari? you need to know more about this guy if you don’t know already.
Salem al-Dawsari, perhaps more than any other player, personifies the changes taking place in Saudi football. Not afraid to sport a new trendy hairstyle and as fashion conscious as they come – he can regularly be seen with his Gucci backpack – Dawsari would not look out of place on a Premier League team bus. He is one of the new breed of Saudi players and one whom the Green Falcons coach, Juan Antonio Pizzi, depended on a lot in the matches here in Russia.
A winger with good close control and the ability to ghost past players,nobody has any doubt about this man’s talent. Dawsari is perhaps a glimpse of the future for Saudi Arabian football – more international in its outlook and more prominent as a result. The one problem Saudi Arabia have when they arrive at World Cups is that the players’ exposure to top-quality teams and players has always been marginal at best. Dawsari has injected some serious energy in to Saudi Football, whatever be the outcome of matches to come.
