Gomez complains about the refereeing and talks about Al-Ettifaq's quick "gift."

Al-Fateh coach Gozzie Gomez attributed his team’s loss to Al-Ettifaq in the 23rd round of the Roshn Saudi League to refereeing errors that decisively impacted the match result at the Ego Stadium in Dammam. Gomez stated in the post-match press conference that his team suffered from conceding early goals, but managed to equalize with two goals of their own, only for refereeing decisions – including a disallowed goal for Al-Ettifaq – to shift the momentum. Gomez affirmed he prefers not to delve into the details of the refereeing mistakes, preferring to leave that matter to the specialists, noting that television replays would clearly reveal those errors. The match concluded with a 4-3 victory for Al-Ettifaq.
