Fashion Sakala’s Heroics Not Enough as Al-Fayha Suffers Defeat
In the fast-paced world of the Saudi Professional League, Fashion Sakala’s return to the Al-Fayha starting line-up was anticipated with eager excitement. However, despite his impressive goal-scoring prowess, Sakala’s efforts were not enough to prevent his side from slumping to a disappointing 2-1 defeat against Al-Wehda in week 26 of the league.
Sakala’s absence from the Al-Fayha squad in the previous match against Al-Ittihad had left fans puzzled, especially after his notable performances prior to the international break. Zambia coach Avram Grant’s decision to omit Sakala from national duty only added to the mystery surrounding his absence.
Nevertheless, Sakala returned to action with a bang, netting a goal and reclaiming the top scorer crown for Al-Fayha in the league. With 11 goals to his name, Sakala edged past his Nigerian teammate Henry Onyekuru, who trails closely with 10 goals.

Despite Sakala’s individual brilliance, Al-Fayha could not overcome their opponents, suffering a second consecutive defeat. This downturn in form comes after a promising run in the second half of the season, where they had secured four consecutive wins before being held to a draw.
The recent losses have seen Al-Fayha’s position in the league table slip to 10th place, accumulating 32 points from their 26 matches played. As the season progresses, Sakala and his teammates will be eager to bounce back and reignite their campaign in the Saudi Professional League.
