Matthias Jaissle watched on as his side laboured to a hard earned 1-0 victory over Al Najma.
The reigning Asian champions faced a difficult opponent in the newly promoted side but did manage to pick maximum points.
Speaking after the game, coach Jaissle expressed his disssatisfaction at his side’s display but did admit that they miss an important player.
“Tonight’s result isn’t satisfying, we could’ve scored four more goals and we deserved that penalty.” He said during the post match press conference.
“Deserved win, although the result doesn’t reflect the flow of the match. We should’ve taken better advantage of our missed chances, especially considering the disallowed penalty.”
“We’re missing W.Galeno. He is still undergoing treatment. The medical staff are doing their best to get him back as soon as possible, but we don’t want to rush his return.” He said on the injured Brazilian.
He however dismissed rumours of Ivan Toney leaving the club in the winter transfer window.

“I won’t respond to these rumours on social media, but I saw that Firas was ready, and I decided to start him in the lineup.”
Ivan Toney came in the 69th minute to replace the 25 year old Saudi Arabian who scored the only goal of the game.
The Royals have temporarily moved to 4th on the log with 12 points from a possible 18.
