Neom's win drags Al-Hilal's memory back to that Al-Nassr clash more than a year ago. Since then, the Leader had kept their record spotless in front of their own fans in Pro League competitions.

Ambitions of extending their record numbers took a fresh hit, too. Al-Hilal had chased a long unbeaten run for months, only for Neom to end it and land a historic victory over the Leader.
