Tabuk, Saudi Arabia — Al-Nassr continued their flawless start to the Saudi Pro League with a 3-1 victory over Neom SC on Saturday, November 8. The win marked their eighth consecutive triumph this season, maintaining their lead at the top of the table.
Ângelo Gabriel opened the scoring for Al-Nassr early in the second half, delivering a low drive into the bottom-left corner. Captain Cristiano Ronaldo quickly doubled the lead with a penalty kick after Neom was reduced to ten men, following a red card issued to Luciano Rodríguez.
Neom briefly ignited hope when Abdu scored in the 84th minute, leveling the score at 2-1 and prompting cheers from the home crowd. However, Al-Nassr responded decisively as João Félix scored a stunning long-range goal shortly after, sealing the match in favor of the Knights of Najd.
The game saw Neom’s strategy falter as they struggled to withstand the pressure exerted by Al-Nassr’s star-studded lineup. “We played with determination and showed our experience,” said Al-Nassr’s coach. “The players executed the game plan perfectly.”
With the win, Al-Nassr maintained their ideal season, with Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates making their mark yet again. “The team is in great shape, and we aim to keep this momentum going,” Ronaldo remarked after the match.
Al-Nassr next faces challenges as they look to maintain their winning streak in the upcoming fixtures. Fans are eager to see if the team can continue this impressive performance through the season.
