TABŪK, Saudi Arabia (Jan. 30, 2026) (Interstat) — NEOM SC opened its Pro League season with a commanding 3-0 victory over Damac Saudi Club on Friday at King Khalid Sport City Stadium.

Defender Nathan Zeze opened the scoring in the 23rd minute with a header. The match remained 1-0 deep into second-half stoppage time before NEOM sealed the win. Amadou Koné headed in a goal in the 91st minute, and forward Alexandre Lacazette added another just before the final whistle. Substitutes Jamal Harkass and Abdulrahman Al Obaid each provided an assist.

The result defied a pregame projection of a 1-1 draw by Interstat. Five yellow cards were issued during the match, four to Damac players. NEOM begins the campaign at 1-0-0, while Damac starts 0-1-0.
