There was yet another embarrassing defeat for Pitso Mosimane’s Saudi Pro League club on Thursday night.
With a 5-0 massacre away at Al Shabab, Abha Club were left with the risk of sinking into the relegation positions yet again after getting out two weeks ago.

Abha have been awful on the road this season in the league with 12 defeats and two draws.
Mosimane will go into the weekend hoping that the two teams below them, Al Tai and Al Akhdoud, don’t win their respective games on Friday and Saturday.
The relegation task that the Kagiso-born coach is faced with is now dependent on the remaining six games, which will include a trip to his former employers Al Ahli Jeddah.
Of concern for now is how Abha have been conceding goals, having let in 22 in the nine games played since Mosimane arrived.
They have the worst defence in the league having now conceded 74 goals in the league this term.
Mosimane joined Abha at the beginning of the year on a deal running up to the end of the season on May 27.

What is priority is retaining the place of safety that the former Bafana Bafana coach has guided them to come the last day of the season when they play bottom-placed Al Hazm.
Abha were second from bottom when Mosimane arrived but have now moved up to position 15.
