Neom beat Abha with two goals in Saudi Pro League

Said Benrahma and Alexandre Lacazette gave the hosts the advantage, as the two players exchanged assists and goals, allowing Neom to collect three more points in their Saudi Pro League campaign.

The first goal came in the 15th minute, when Said Benrahma capitalized on an Alexandre Lacazette pass inside the penalty area, shooting the ball with his right foot towards the bottom left corner, announcing his team's lead.

Before the end of the first half, Nyom tried to extend the lead through Khalil Al-Absi, who received a pass from Alexandre Lacazette in the 33rd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to save his left-footed shot from inside the area.

In the second half, Alexandre Lacazette missed an opportunity to double the lead in the 46th minute, after receiving a through ball from Benrahma, but his shot from the right side of the penalty area went past the left post.

The French striker scored again just four minutes later, benefiting from a cross from Benrahma in the 50th minute, heading it into the net to secure Nyom's lead with two goals.

Abha attempted to reduce the deficit in the 82nd minute through Abdul Knight, who shot with his left foot from inside the penalty area, but the Neom goalkeeper saved the effort, and the match ended with a victory for the home side.

Nyom has raised his tally to 19 points, placing his team sixth in the Saudi Pro League standings, while Abha remains stuck at two points in last place.

Neom asserted its dominance over its guest Abha, defeating them 2-0 on Saturday evening at the King Khalid Sports City Stadium in Tabuk, in the 11th round of the Saudi Pro League.
