NEOM SC vs Al Taawon

Neom SC were minutes from a crucial home win before Mohammad Al-Quwaykbi struck deep into stoppage time to rescue a dramatic 2-2 draw for Al Taawon in a pulsating Round 26 clash at King Khalid Sports City Stadium in Tabuk. Luciano Rodriguez had given the hosts an early lead in the 23rd minute, assisted by Abdoulaye Doucouré. Al Taawon hit back through Róger Martínez on 70 minutes before Alexandre Lacazette appeared to have won it for Neom just six minutes later, restoring their advantage with a clinical finish. But Al Taawon refused to fold. Al-Quwaykbi's equaliser in the 93rd minute sparked wild celebrations among the visitors and left the home side devastated. It was a feisty affair too, with seven yellow cards dished out across both sides. The point lifts Al Taawon to fifth on 45 points, while Neom stay eighth with 33 from 26 matches — a point gained for one, two dropped for the other.
