Neom continued its winning streak in the Saudi Pro League, achieving its third consecutive victory after defeating its host, Riyadh, with a score of 3/2, in the match held at Al-Shabab Club Stadium in Riyadh, as part of the fourth round of the Pro League.

Neom's goals were scored by Luciano Rodriguez (2'), Ahmed Hegazi (28'), and Alexandre Lacazette (54'), while Riyadh's goals were scored by Khalil Al-Absi (19') and Abdallah Doucouré (own goal 77).

The match witnessed a strong start from Neom, with Alexandre Lacazette launching a ball from the left side and delivering a high cross that Luciano Rodriguez headed into the net for Neom's first goal (2'). Lacazette nearly doubled the score with a powerful low shot that was saved by goalkeeper Milan Borjan in two attempts. Borjan shone again, saving a brilliant shot from Said Benrahma in a difficult corner, but he managed to fly and deflect it for a corner kick. Riyadh managed to return to the match through Khalil Al-Absi, who took advantage of a cross from Teddy Okpala to shoot directly into the net, equalizing for Riyadh (19'). However, Neom managed to regain the lead after Nathan Zizi executed a corner kick that captain Ahmed Hegazi headed into the net for Neom's second goal (28'). Neom extended its lead with a third goal from Alexandre Lacazette after a high cross from Said Benrahma, which Lacazette headed into the net for Neom's third goal (54'). Riyadh reduced the deficit after Yahya Al-Shehri launched the ball from the right side and delivered a cross that Abdallah Doucouré accidentally completed into his own net (77'), ending the match with Neom winning 3/2.

With this result, Neom achieves its third victory and reaches nine points, while Riyadh suffers its third loss, remaining at three points.
