NEOM SC vs Al-Khaleej Club

Neom SC put on a ruthless first-half show at King Khalid Sport City Stadium, blowing the game open before the break and cruising to a 3-0 win over Al Khaleej. By the time the whistle blew for halftime, the contest was already effectively decided. Alexandre Lacazette got things going in the 37th minute, and Neom barely let Al Khaleej breathe from there. Muhannad Al-Saad doubled the lead just two minutes later in the 39th, and Amadou Kone completed the rout right on the stroke of halftime in the 45th. Al Khaleej picked up bookings for Boubakar Kiki and Angelo Fulgini as frustration crept in, but there were no penalties or red cards to speak of, just a one-sided attacking display from the hosts. The result pushes Neom's record to 3-0-2, a statement of intent for a club still building its top-flight identity. For Al Khaleej, it's another setback in a winless run that's starting to look concerning, and they'll need to regroup quickly before results start slipping further away.
