On Saturday (16), as the Saudi League night drew to a close, Ainas took on Elad away from home and came away with a 3-1 victory. In the marquee match, star Cron was at it again, scoring twice and contributing to a total of seven goals in four consecutive league matches. However, the brightest star of the match was Ainas striker Talisker, who not only gave an assist to Cron, but also won the honor with a wonderful long-distance shot, successfully stealing the limelight from Cron.
Only four minutes into the match, Cron missed a half-time one-touch opportunity and was fortunate to see star Shadiovanni step up in time to fire home a goal in stoppage time to break the deadlock. Immediately after, the Senegalese international forced a foul with a one-two and was shown a red card, giving Ainas an even greater advantage in the second half.
In the second half, substitute Talisca scored from about 25 yards out with a shot that caught everyone's attention. The Brazilian, who has played in the Chinese Super League, followed up with a cross to help Cron complete his hat-trick and make it 3-0. Talisca's performance was commendable despite the fact that Ainas have two stars in Cron and Shadi Owaini in their squad. Airad, on the other hand, was able to break the shutout with a penalty kick opportunity awarded near the end of the game.
