Soufiane Rahimi has officially surpassed the long-standing scoring record of Asamoah Gyan at Al Ain FC, becoming the club’s all-time leading scorer in Asian club competitions. This historic milestone was reached on September 15, 2026, during a high-profile encounter in the AFC Champions League Elite. Rahimi’s performance marks a significant shift in the club's record books, as he overtook a record that had been held by Gyan for a considerable period.

The record-breaking moment occurred during Al Ain’s dominant 4-0 victory over Al Nassr. By reaching a total tally of 19 goals in Asian club competitions, Rahimi officially moved ahead of Gyan. The victory against Al Nassr provided a fitting stage for the milestone, highlighting Rahimi's importance to the team during elite continental fixtures. His ability to consistently find the net in the AFC Champions League Elite has been a key factor in his rise to becoming Al Ain's top scorer on the Asian stage.

Asamoah Gyan's record had stood for several years, serving as a benchmark for excellence at Al Ain. The achievement by Rahimi to reach 19 goals demonstrates his scoring consistency and his role as a leading figure in the club's attacking department. The transition of this scoring title from Gyan to Rahimi underscores the evolving history of the club and the high level of competition within Asian club football.

Looking forward, Rahimi is now positioned to further extend his record as Al Ain continues its participation in the AFC Champions League Elite. The 4-0 win over Al Nassr not only secured three points for the team but also solidified Rahimi’s legacy within the club’s history. This achievement will be remembered as a defining moment for both the player and Al Ain, representing the surpassing of a legendary mark set by one of the club's most prominent former scorers.
