Al Riyadh 1-0 NEOM SC 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 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 Hilal's five-match winning run came to a stunning halt at home as NEOM SC claimed a 2-0 victory, with Kalidou Koulibaly's own goal and a Amadou Koné strike doing the damage. It was a night where Al Hilal's standards slipped badly, and NEOM made them pay.

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.

NEOM SC dismantled Al Khaleej with three goals in the final eight minutes of the first half, with Alexandre Lacazette opening the scoring before Muhanad Al-Saad and Amadou Koné put the game to bed before the break.

Al Shabab controlled almost every statistical category but somehow ended level with Al Riyadh, a 3-3 draw that tells you more about structural fragility than anything else. This was a coaching problem on both sides of the ball.

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.
