Ngolo Kante's Goal Powers Al-Ittihad to Victory Over Al-Riyadh in Saudi Pro League

Late Strike Secures Three Points for Jeddah Giants

Kante Continues to Shine in Saudi Arabia

Al-Ittihad secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Al-Riyadh in the Saudi Pro League on Thursday, with a late goal from Ngolo Kante proving decisive.

The match was evenly contested throughout, with both teams creating chances. Al-Ittihad took the lead in the first half through a penalty from Romarinho, but Al-Riyadh equalized in the second half through a stunning strike from Abdullah Al-Hamdan.

With the game seemingly heading for a draw, Kante popped up with the winner in the 89th minute. The French midfielder received the ball on the edge of the area and drove into the Al-Riyadh defense before firing a low shot into the bottom corner.

The goal was Kante's second in as many games for Al-Ittihad, and it proved to be a vital contribution as the Jeddah giants moved up to second in the league standings.

Kante has been in excellent form since joining Al-Ittihad in January, and his performances have helped the team to climb the table.
