Al Fateh 0-0 Al Ittihad result, stats and report

NEOM SC put in a commanding home performance to beat Al Fateh 4-2 in the Saudi Pro League, with Alexandre Lacazette and substitute Valentín Vada among the scorers in a match that was never really in doubt despite Al Fateh's occasional moments.

Al Draih took all three points at Al Fateh thanks to two converted penalties, with Al Fateh's Faisal Al-Abdulwahed pulling one back but ultimately unable to rescue a side that has now won just once in their last ten Saudi Pro League matches.

Al Ittihad made it four wins from their last five Saudi Pro League matches with a 2-1 home victory over Al-Fayha, George Ilenikhena heading them in front before Youssef En-Nesyri converted from the spot after the visitors had briefly levelled.

Al Fateh dominated Al Ittihad in every measurable way but could not find a winner in a goalless Saudi Pro League draw, hitting the woodwork three times and missing four big chances in a performance that will haunt their players for days.

Al Taawoun controlled the match from start to finish but could not convert four big chances, leaving the points shared in a goalless draw against Al Fateh in the Saudi Pro League.

George Ilenikhena scored twice in the first half to hand Al Ittihad a 2-1 victory over Al Nassr, a result that defied the run of play and left the visitors with plenty to answer for despite dominating large spells of the match.
