Ghanaian international Sadat Karim showcased his goal-scoring prowess with a remarkable brace for Al-Qaisumah, despite the team ultimately facing a 3-2 defeat against Jeddah in the Saudi Arabia First Division.
The former Hearts of Oak striker's performance left a lasting impact, and he took to social media to express gratitude for his individual heroics, writing, “Alhamdulillah” on X.
In the fiercely contested week 12 match of the Saudi second-tier league, Al-Qaisumah faced an early setback when Algeria international Rida Bensayah secured a lead for Jeddah after 20 minutes into the game. Saudi Arabia international Aqeel Al Sahbi added to the visitors' advantage, doubling the lead before heading into the break.
Undeterred, Sadat Karim, the 32-year-old forward, exhibited his goal-scoring prowess after the break, netting a brace in the 51st and 75th minutes, respectively, to draw the home side level in the game. However, Rida Bensayah sealed the win for Jeddah with his second goal in this thrilling encounter.
Having joined Al-Qaisumah in August 2023 after concluding his stint with Apollon Smyrnis, Sadat Karim has been making an impact, managing three goals in 10 appearances in the Saudi First Division this season. His contributions, including the recent brace, highlight his significance to the team, even in the face of a challenging defeat.
As the season progresses, Karim remains a key figure for Al-Qaisumah, aiming to further contribute to their campaign in the Saudi Arabia First Division.
