Al Ahli 5-0 Al Riyadh result, stats and report

Al Ahli were far too good for Al Hazm on Friday night, with Ivan Toney and Francisco Trincão combining to put the game to bed before half-time. Al Hazm had no answer for a side that created nine big chances and dominated every meaningful statistic.

Al Riyadh bossed possession and created more than NEOM SC in almost every department, but Teddy Okou's 61st-minute strike settled a scrappy Saudi Pro League contest in favour of the visitors. Sometimes the ball goes in and sometimes it doesn't. That's football.

Al Kholood produced one of the most unlikely results of the Saudi Pro League campaign, beating a previously dominant Al Ahli 3-1 despite being outplayed for large portions of the match. The numbers told one story. The scoreboard told another.

Tijjani Reijnders scored twice, including a header deep into first-half stoppage time, as Al-Qadsiah held off a determined Ivan Toney fightback to win 3-2 against Al Ahli in the Saudi Pro League.

Al Khaleej ground out a goalless draw with Al Riyadh in the Saudi Pro League, but the numbers tell a story of two sides who cannot finish and one side that simply cannot score. Neither kept a clean sheet with any conviction. They just ran out of ideas at the same time.

Al Ahli were utterly dominant at home, with Ivan Toney converting two penalties and Eduard Spertsyan and Francisco Trincão adding further goals to seal a comprehensive 4-0 victory over Al Riyadh in the Saudi Pro League.

Al Hilal arrive at Al Riyadh on Friday in the kind of form that makes you feel sorry for whoever is next on the fixture list. Al Riyadh are next on the fixture list.

Al Ahli head into Thursday's Saudi Pro League clash having lost three of their last five, while Al Nassr arrive with seven wins from their last ten. Something has to give.
