Al-Nassr achieved a crucial 1-0 victory over visiting Neom in the final match of the 26th round of the 2026 Saudi League.
Cristiano Ronaldo was absent from Al-Nassr’s lineup due to injury, and his absence was clearly felt in the lack of attacking effectiveness of Jorge Jesus’s team throughout the 90 minutes.
In the 95th minute, Mohammad Simakan scored the winning goal for Al-Nassr with a header that ignited the atmosphere at Al-Awwal Park.
This marks Al-Nassr’s 11th consecutive victory in the Saudi League, allowing them to reclaim the top spot from Al-Ahli, who defeated Al-Ittihad 3-1 on Friday.
Al-Nassr now has 64 points, two points ahead of Al-Ahli and three points ahead of their closest rival, Al-Hilal.
It’s worth noting that Neom, recently promoted to the Roshan League, boasts a number of foreign players. Following this victory, their points tally remains at 32, placing them eighth in the standings.
