Al-Nassr kept up their perfect start to the season with a win over Al-Ahli, while Al-Hilal emerged victorious from their highly anticipated home clash with Al-Ittihad in the fifth round of matches of the Saudi Women’s Premier League.
Al-Nassr’s comprehensive 3-0 victory at home on Saturday maintains their 100 percent record at the top of the table with 15 points from five matches. Clara Luvanga scored two with Lina Boussaha getting the other.
Meanwhile, A-Hilal’s 3-2 win over their Jeddah opponents on Friday came thanks to goals from Nouf Saud, Noura Al-Hamli and Shokhan Salihi, while Al-Ittihad’s two goals came from Salma Amani, one of them a sensational solo effort that saw her slalom through the home defence.
Despite their loss, Al-Ittihad held on to second place with 10 points, followed by Al-Hilal in third with seven.
In the round’s other matches, Al-Shabab defeated Eastern Flames 2-0 on Friday, and Al-Qadisiyah beat Riyadh Club by the same scoreline the following day.
Al-Qadisyah jumped to fourth place in the table, also with seven points, on goal difference ahead of Al-Ahli and Al-Shabab in fifth and sixth.
Eastern Flames are seventh with only two points, and Riyadh are in last place with no points so far this season.
