Match Report
Al Hilal delivered a polished 2-0 home win over Neom SC at the Kingdom Arena, keeping the Saudi Pro League title race alive with one match to play. An early penalty set the tone for a one-sided evening in Riyadh.
Rúben Neves opened the scoring from the spot in the 10th minute after a foul was awarded inside the box. Sultan Mandash doubled the advantage in the 58th minute, putting the result well beyond doubt. Neom SC rarely threatened — their goalkeeper was called into action five times — and Khalifah Al-Dawsari rounded off a miserable night with a yellow card deep in stoppage time.
The result moves Al Hilal to 81 points, just two behind leaders Al Nassr on 83. Both clubs play Matchday 34 on May 21 — Al Hilal travelling to Al Feiha while Al Nassr host Damac FC — meaning the title will go right down to the final whistle of the season.
