Al Taawon vs Al Riyadh

Al Taawoun and Al Riyadh played out a tense 1-1 draw in Buraidah on May 15, a result shaped by a penalty-kick equalizer that denied the visitors what would have been a precious three points in the Saudi Pro League. Leandro Antunes broke the deadlock for Al Riyadh in the 61st minute, finishing off an assist from Teddy Lia Okou. It looked like the points were heading north, but Roger Martínez — already booked in the 49th minute — kept his composure to tuck away a spot-kick in the 67th and level things up for the hosts. Antunes rounded out a frustrating night by collecting a yellow card of his own in the 82nd minute. For Al Riyadh, sitting 16th with 26 points from 32 matches, the draw barely shifts the needle in their relegation fight. Al Taawoun, sixth on 52 points, will feel they left two points on the table as they chase a place in next season's Asian Champions League.
