While the race for this season's Roshn Saudi League Golden Boot may be focused elsewhere, a far more historic battle is captivating football purists. Two legends of the league, Omar Al Somah and Abderrazak Hamdallah, are locked in a thrilling duel for the title of the RSL's all-time top scorer.

Both strikers have already secured their legacies, each having won the league's top scorer award three times—a feat only Cristiano Ronaldo is currently trying to match. But their competition transcends any single season. Al Somah currently holds the edge with 160 career RSL goals, but Hamdallah is breathing down his neck, sitting just five goals behind.

The rivalry is very much alive. Al Somah, now at Al Hazem, recently found the net in a 2-0 victory over Al Fayha. Just days before, Hamdallah scored for Al Shabab in a local derby, marking his fourth goal in his last six appearances despite a season hampered by injury. With six rounds remaining, every match is a chance to close the gap.

For Al Somah, this historic chase is a powerful source of motivation. "Of course - the number is important for me and for Abderrazak," he stated after his latest goal. "Honestly, this competition gives me a lot of motivation; I will focus more... Abderrazak is a great player and a goalscorer; I'm one of the people who likes him. I wish him good luck."

As Hamdallah's Al Shabab face title-chasing Al Qadsiah, the next chapter in this epic scoring saga is set to be written, proving that true legacy is built over years of relentless excellence.
