Odion Ighalo believes Al Wehda's narrow 1-0 victory over Al Fateh feels like 'six points" as the Saudi Pro League side took a significant step towards top-flight safety, Soccernet.ng reports .
The Nigerian striker, who played 68 minutes in Saturday's tense encounter in Jeddah, praised his side's grit and resilience as they battled to secure a much-needed win in the relegation dogfight.
Al Wehda, who had started the weekend second from bottom, were handed the perfect platform when Abdulaziz Al Noor finished off a quick counter-attack just eight minutes into the game.
That early breakthrough proved decisive as Al Wehda defended doggedly to hold off a wasteful Al Fateh side and seal all three points.
The win lifted the Mecca-based club out of the drop zone and into 14th place, two points clear of 16th-placed Al Orobah, who still have to face champions Al Hilal in Riyadh on Monday.
