The story
Former Orlando Pirates youngster and Bafana Bafana winger Mohau Nkota danced the night away. He cemented his strong connection to Al-Ettifaq’s fans after scoring on his debut in the Saudi Pro League.
Al-Ettifaq outlasted Al Kholood 2-1 in the opening match of the 2025/26 Saudi Pro League season, held at the EGO Stadium in Dammam on Thursday night.
The 20-year-old Saudi star scored the first goal just seven minutes into the game with a well-placed left-footed shot from the edge of the box.
Ettifaq’s opponents equalised before half-time, with former PSG and Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum finding the net after the hour mark, securing the victory for Al-Ettifaq.
In joyous post-match scenes, Nkota whipped out his best and proudly South African dance moves, much to the entertainment of the Ettifaq supporters who chanted his name.
Take a look:
Since his move to the Saudi Pro League outfit in July, Nkota has wasted no time in settling into the squad, which has been captured and shared by Ettifaq's social media channels, building a connection between the 20-year-old and his new club's fans before he even kicked a ball.
Reflecting on scoring his first goal on debut, Nkota expressed gratitude to his club and the management for giving him the chance to play in Saudi Arabia.
He also shared insights into how he has been able to adapt quickly to life at Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq FC.
