The match was played in front of home supporters in the capital, with NEOM holding firm for much of the encounter before the final push. Simakan's intervention proved the difference in a game decided deep into added time.
For fans across Riyadh and beyond, the result adds another twist to the league campaign. Al-Awwal Park continues to serve as one of the capital's key venues for top-flight football, drawing large crowds throughout the season.
The win keeps Al Nassr's momentum going as the Saudi Pro League season progresses, while NEOM will look to regroup after a performance that came close to earning a point.
