Match Report
Al Nassr left it late — very late — as Mohamed Simakan powered home a stoppage-time winner to seal a nervy 1-0 victory over Neom SC at Al-Awwal Park on Friday night.
Without the injured Cristiano Ronaldo, sidelined with a hamstring problem, the league leaders struggled to break down a stubborn Neom defence. The visitors' goalkeeper produced nine saves to keep his side level deep into the second half, while Al Nassr fired 20 shots without reward in a frustrating display.
Then, in the fifth minute of added time, Joao Felix delivered the perfect ball and Simakan made no mistake — the French defender popping up to snatch all three points in the most dramatic fashion.
The win lifts Al Nassr to 64 points at the summit of the Saudi Pro League after 25 matches. Neom SC remain eighth on 32 points and will wonder what might have been after such a heroic defensive effort.
