Al-Ahli Women completed a thorough job against Al-Taraji in the opening round of the Premier League (Women) regular season, running out 5-1 winners on 2026-09-11. The visitors have been building steadily, sitting second in the table with 27 points from 14 games before this fixture. They'll have been looking to carry that momentum into the new campaign.
C. Uchendu opened the scoring after ten minutes, finding the net for the first of what would be two goals. Al-Ahli didn't let up, with L. R. Bravo adding a second just before half-time at the 27-minute mark. By then the visitors were already setting the tone for what was to come.
Al Shareef made it three before the interval in the 36th minute, and there was another goal at 39 minutes when the scoreline began to look uncomfortable for the hosts. The pattern continued after the break, with D. Fahad extending the lead in the 48th minute.
Uchendu completed her brace in the 52nd minute, and a seventh goal came at 76 minutes to round off a dominant display. The visitors never got out of second gear, stringing together a sequence of strikes that left Al-Taraji chasing shadows.
Al-Ahli's recent form showed promise — they drew 2-2 with Al-Qadisiya Women in April — and this result suggests they're ready to push further. The gap at the top could tighten if results like this continue.
