Al Riyadh 2-0 Al Kholood result, stats and report

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 held off a determined Al Shabab to win 2-1 in the Saudi Pro League, with Iker Kortajarena's equaliser briefly threatening to deny the hosts before Abdulrahman Al-Dawsari struck three minutes from time to settle it.

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.

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-Fayha led twice at home but Al Kholood showed real desire to claw back a 2-2 draw in the Saudi Pro League, with Julien Domingues heading home in the 88th minute to deny the hosts a badly needed win.

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 Faisaly have not won in seven Saudi Pro League matches and are leaking goals at an alarming rate. Al Kholood arrive with wins on the board and goals in their boots.
