Al-Habib grabbed a brace on the day, a big reason behind the comfortable win as he turned his attacking presence into two goals that underlined his side's superiority.

Jefferson Ramos needed just one goal to join the round's brightest names, netting the winner in Al-Fateh's 1-0 victory over Al-Orobah. A single strike settled it.

Ramos's goal handed Al-Fateh the three points. He pounced on his chance and turned it into the goal that decided the match in his side's favour.

The game may not have been packed with goals, but the value of Ramos's strike was huge. It came in a one-goal contest, making him the owner of the decisive moment and the man who dragged his side to all three points.

Louai Al-Obaidi continued his impressive run with Al-Hilal, scoring in the 3-3 draw against Al-Jabalain to underline once again his knack for leaving an attacking mark.

His goal came in a six-goal shootout, an open and thrilling contest between Al-Hilal and Al-Jabalain that ended with each side settling for a single point.

The goal wasn't enough to win it for Al-Hilal, but Al-Obaidi's steady form and his strike in the fifth round earned him a spot among the top five players of the weekend.

In the end, Ammar Al-Ghamdi stood tallest in the fifth round thanks to the treble that fired Al-Ittihad to victory. Abdul Majeed Al-Sharif, Daniel Al-Habib, Jefferson Ramos and Louai Al-Obaidi completed the list of players who made the difference with their goals and attacking marks.
