7.5/10Last-Gasp Félix Strike Lifts Al-Nassr Past NEOM in Riyadh Thriller
Al-Nassr left it late but ultimately secured a dramatic 1-0 win over NEOM at Al-Awwal Park, thanks to a stoppage-time goal from João Félix. The hosts dominated proceedings, controlling 57% of possession and peppering Luís Maximiano’s goal with 25 shots, 10 of which were on target. Despite their attacking intent, Al-Nassr were repeatedly frustrated by a resilient NEOM defense and some fine goalkeeping. NEOM, set up in a compact 4-2-3-1, offered little going forward, managing just 6 shots and only 2 on target. Their strategy to soak up pressure nearly paid dividends, but their resistance was finally broken in the 90th minute. The match was a tale of Al-Nassr’s relentless probing against NEOM’s disciplined rearguard, with the decisive moment arriving just as the visitors seemed poised to escape with a point.

Al-Nassr
Al-Nassr were the dominant force throughout, dictating play with 57% possession and maintaining a constant attacking threat. Their 25 shots and 8 corners reflected their territorial supremacy, but a lack of clinical finishing and some inspired defending from NEOM kept the scores level until the dying moments. The team showed patience and composure, eventually finding the breakthrough through João Félix’s late strike. Defensively, Al-Nassr were rarely troubled, with Bento largely untested. The midfield, marshaled by Marcelo Brozović, controlled the tempo, while the wide play of Kingsley Coman and Sadio Mané stretched NEOM’s backline. The only blemish was a lack of early ruthlessness and three yellow cards, reflecting some frustration as the match wore on.
Key Players
Strengths
Weaknesses
NEOM
NEOM set out to frustrate their hosts and nearly succeeded, defending deep in a 4-2-3-1 and limiting Al-Nassr to half-chances for most of the match. Their back four, led by Awn Al Saluli and Nathan Zeze, stood firm under relentless pressure, while Luís Maximiano made several key saves to keep them in contention. Going forward, NEOM offered little, registering just 6 shots (2 on target) and only a single corner. Alexandre Lacazette was isolated up front, and the midfield struggled to retain possession or break out on the counter. Despite their defensive discipline, a lapse in the final minute denied them a valuable point.

Tactical Analysis
Al-Nassr lined up in a 4-4-2, using their wide players to stretch NEOM’s compact defensive block. Marcelo Brozović anchored the midfield, allowing Coman and Mané to push high and supply crosses for Félix and Al-Hamdan. The hosts’ pressing forced NEOM into hurried clearances, and their full-backs overlapped to create overloads on the flanks. NEOM’s 4-2-3-1 was conservative, with both holding midfielders rarely venturing forward. Their game plan was to absorb pressure and look for rare counter-attacking opportunities, but with little support for Lacazette, their transitions broke down quickly. Substitutions aimed at shoring up the midfield could not stem the tide, and the late switch to a more defensive posture ultimately invited the decisive Al-Nassr attack.
Turning Point
João Félix’s 90th-minute goal, which finally broke NEOM’s resistance and decided the contest.
Man of the Match
João Félix
Scored the match-winning goal in stoppage time and was a persistent threat throughout.
