Neom beat Al-Dhariyah 2-1 in Saudi Pro League

Idrissa Gueye opened the scoring for Al-Dhariyah in the 17th minute, capitalising on a pass from Darwin Núñez, and unleashed a right-footed shot from outside the penalty area that found the bottom left corner.

Al-Dhariyah attempted to extend their lead in the 33rd minute, but Clayton Diandy's left-footed shot, which came after an Enzo Milot pass from the right side of the penalty area, went wide of the post.

Just before the half-time whistle, Algerian Said Benrahma brought his team back into the match by successfully converting a penalty in the 5th minute of added time, scoring the equalizer.

Neymar made his return in the 68th minute with a precise pass from Benrahma to Alexandre Lacazette, who found the net with a low shot using his right foot.

Nyom has increased his tally to 22 points, temporarily placing him fifth in the Saudi Pro League standings, while Al-Dhariyah remains at 15 points in eighth place.

Neom turned around a deficit against their hosts Al-Dhariyah to secure a valuable 2-1 victory in the match that took place on Friday evening as part of the twelfth round of the Saudi Pro League.
