NEOM SC vs Al-Fayha Club

Neom SC edged out Al Fayha 1-0 at King Khalid Sport City on Saturday thanks to a decisive second-half strike from Luciano Rodriguez. The Uruguayan forward broke the deadlock in the 74th minute, latching onto a sharp assist from Said Benrahma to snatch all three points in a tight Saudi Pro League affair. It was a frustrating afternoon for Al Fayha, who actually outshot the hosts 16 to 12 but couldn't find a way past a resolute Neom defence. Tempers flared late on, with four yellow cards handed out in the final ten minutes as the visitors pressed desperately for an equaliser. The win lifts Neom SC to eighth in the table on 36 points, while Al Fayha slip to ninth on 33. Both sides remain in mid-table, but it is Neom who take the greater confidence into the final stretch of the campaign.
