William Troost-Ekong’s [solid performance](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/match-previews-and-reviews/besiktas-thrilled-to-land-former-leicester-midfielder-ndidi-as-long-term-starter/) for Al Kholood highlights his growing [influence](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/local-clubs-and-academies/) in the Saudi league. His ability to anchor the defence and provide leadership has been crucial in games like this, where the team needed composure to their lead in the closing minutes. For Troost-Ekong, maintaining this form could be vital not only for his club’s success but also for his future contributions to Nigeria’s Super Eagles. +

This win also emphasizes Al Kholood’s resilience after a tough loss to Al Ittihad. To sustain this momentum, the team must continue addressing their defensive vulnerabilities while capitalizing on their offensive strengths. Troost-Ekong’s consistency could play a key role in stabilizing their defence as the season progresses. +
