On the 16th (Korea time), Verbine's team Al Itihad won 3-1 in the 32nd round of the Saudi Professional League (SPL) in the 2024-2025 season against Al-Raed at King Abdulla Sports City in Buraida, Saudi Arabia.
Al-Itihad, who dedicated the first goal to Omar González in the 9th minute of the first half, brought the game back to square one with Verwein's equalizer in the 21st minute, and Danilu Pereira in the 40th minute and Abdullaman Alobud in the 2nd minute of the second half made a comeback victory.
RT Hard, which has lost three times throughout the season, secured an early win with 77 points and nine points clear of second-place Al Hilal (68 points) with two games remaining until the end of the season. Manager Laurent Blanc Altihad, Karim Benzema, N'Golo Kante and Fabinho celebrated their first league victory in two years with dancing in the locker room.
Al Hilal, who defeated K-League representative Gwangju 7-0 in the quarterfinals of the Asian Champions League Elite (ACLE), not only was eliminated in the ACLE semifinals but also missed the league championship.

Verwein, who made his professional debut with PSV Eindhoven, won the Dutch Redivisie three times in the 2014-2015 season, the 2015-2016 season, and the 2017-2018 season. He was expected to move to Tottenham for a transfer fee of £26.7 million in 2020, but failed to establish himself, scoring only eight goals in 83 games in two and a half years.
He reached the final of the League Cup in the 2020-2021 season, but finished second.
Berbain, who moved to Ajax in 2022, made a spectacular comeback with double-digit goals for the Eredivisie for two consecutive seasons, but suddenly left for RT Hard in 2024.
Former teammates of Son Heung-min, including Harry Kane, Eric Dier (Bavier Munich), and Verbine, are lifting the trophy one by one after leaving Tottenham. Son Heung-min will try again for his first career championship in the European Europa League final against Manchester United on the 22nd.
