NEOM SC vs Al-Qadsiah

Al Qadsiah made the perfect start to their Pro League campaign, beating hosts Neom SC 2-0 in Tabuk. The standout moment came just weeks after Tijjani Reijnders' big-money move from Manchester City, as the Dutch midfielder marked his competitive debut by getting on the scoresheet. Reijnders broke the deadlock in the 29th minute, finishing off a move set up by Gaston Alvarez, before Mateo Retegui doubled the lead from the penalty spot in the 56th. Neom SC had more shots on the night but could not beat goalkeeper Koen Casteels, whose display earned him the player of the match award. The win extends Al Qadsiah's dominance in this fixture and suggests their summer spending, including Reijnders and Retegui, is paying off early. For Neom SC, it's a frustrating opening result at home despite creating enough to take something from the match, and they'll look to bounce back quickly.
