Al-Ettifaq Club vs Al Diriyah

Al Diriyah pulled off an impressive away statement, brushing aside Al Ettifaq 3-0 on the road in Matchday 4 of the Roshn Saudi League. For a newly promoted side, this was about as commanding a performance as it gets, with the visitors controlling the game from start to finish and never looking back once they had their noses in front. The breakthrough came early, with Darwin Nunez striking in just the 8th minute to settle any nerves for the visitors. Al Ettifaq struggled to respond, and Adel Boulbina doubled the lead in the 53rd minute shortly after the break. Nunez then completed his brace in the 81st minute, wrapping up a comfortable win and capping a strong personal display in Diriyah colors. The result leaves Al Ettifaq facing back-to-back defeats after a promising start to the season, dropping them down to 8th in the standings despite having opened with two wins. For Al Diriyah, it's a landmark result in their first-ever top-flight campaign, lifting them to 5th place and showing that their high-profile summer signings, headlined by Nunez, Boulbina and Enzo Millot, are already paying dividends.
