September 27, (THEWILL) — Al Hilal’s women’s team delivered a dominant 3-0 victory against Neom SC in the Saudi Women’s Premier League on Friday.
The home side controlled proceedings from the opening whistle, demonstrating superior organisation and tactical execution throughout the encounter.
Neom SC failed to create meaningful opportunities against their opponents’ structured approach and rapid counter-attacks.
Nigerian forward Asisat Oshoala contributed one goal and one assist during the comprehensive triumph.
The striker completed the scoring with a composed finish, converting a precise through-ball from Al-Bandari Mobarak to beat the visiting goalkeeper. Oshoala’s movement and decision-making consistently troubled Neom SC’s defensive unit, underlining her growing influence within the squad’s attacking framework.
Midfielder Kheira Hamraoui had previously doubled Al Hilal’s advantage with a spectacular long-range strike that found the top corner, leaving Neom SC’s keeper with no chance of making a save.
The thunderous effort followed the opening goal by Mobarak, which Oshoala contributed to, and established firm control for the hosts.
Al Hilal’s defensive line maintained their composure under pressure, preserving a clean sheet that strengthens their early-season credentials.
The victory is Oshoala’s third appearance since joining Al Hilal, during which she has accumulated three goals and two assists.
Her consistent output shows both finishing ability and creative vision, providing teammates with enhanced attacking options. The coaching staff views her adaptation as fundamental to the team’s championship aspirations.
This result positions Al Hilal favourably within the early league standings, signalling their intention to compete for top honours in the League. Neom will need to regroup quickly ahead of their next fixture following this comprehensive defeat.
Al Hilal’s combination of defensive solidity and attacking fluidity suggests they will remain serious contenders throughout the campaign.
