The Nigerian international delivered a pinpoint assist to Myziane Maolida, who netted the decisive goal deep into stoppage time.

This crucial win lifts Noureddine Zekri's team out of the relegation zone, giving them a much-needed boost in their campaign.

Next up, Al Kholood will host Al Ahli in what promises to be another high-stakes encounter next Wednesday. Can Troost-Ekong and his teammates build on their momentum? Stay tuned!
