Cristiano’s Achievements Versus Al Fateh
Cristiano has now found the net in his most recent five showings facing Al-Fateh, which featured a treble in 2023, contributing to his tally of nine strikes across seven encounters with them, despite being withdrawn during injury time in the second half.
He is now positioned tied for second among the league’s leading scorers, having also tallied his 18th strike this campaign in the Saudi Pro League.
The division’s two-time top scorer shares the spot with Al-Qadsiah’s Julian Quinones, yet trails ex-England forward Ivan Toney of Al-Ahli by two goals.

Al Fateh’s Initial Lineup Facing Al Nassr
Mourad Batna, the Al-Fateh winger who has registered four goals this campaign, made his comeback after recovering from a knock sustained during their one-all stalemate on their home ground against Al Hazem on February 1.
Wesley Delgado, 21, was afforded an opportunity to impress. Forward Fahad Al-Zubaidi, temporarily with them from Al-Nassr, remained among the substitutes.
Al-Fateh also employ a Portuguese tactician in Jose Gomes, whose squad endured a nine-nil thrashing in only his second game at the helm, against Jesus’s Al-Hilal in 2024.
Although that still stands as the most crushing loss of Gomes’ coaching tenure, Al-Fateh approached this fixture boasting a commendable performance this campaign, with six triumphs and eight losses across 20 league contests, featuring a 2-1 triumph against Al-Hilal in November.
Despite being without a victory in seven outings, they had secured a stalemate in their latest match at Al-Qadsiah, who sit in fourth position, on February 7. In that game, Vargas, the wide player, notched his sixth league goal of the season, bringing his total to eight across all competitions.
A triumph would have propelled Al-Fateh past Al-Khaleej into ninth place.
