Al Diriyah beat Al Riyadh 1-0 in the Saudi Pro League after Óscar Rodríguez scored in the 13th minute. That was enough for the home side.
Rodríguez opened the scoring on 13 minutes from a Hussain Al-Sabiyani assist. Al Diriyah then sent on Abdulaziz Al Faraj for Al-Sabiyani on 45 minutes, with the lead intact at half-time.
Al Riyadh made two changes on 59 minutes, bringing on Awad Dahal for Hassan Hashim Al-Ali and Hussain Al Shurafa for Sultan Al-Essa, but they did not find an equaliser. Al Diriyah made their own changes to see out the game, with Lovro Chelfi replaced by Adil Boulbina on 66 minutes and Darwin Nuñez and Abdulelah Al-Malki coming off in the 80th minute for Meshari Fahad Al Nemer and Sultan Al-Farhan. Al Riyadh kept pressing from set pieces and possession, but Al Diriyah held on to protect the 1-0 lead.
The visitors had 56% of the ball and 457 passes to Al Diriyah's 368, while both sides had 16 shots. Al Diriyah were more accurate with 8 shots on target to Al Riyadh's 4 and finished with 1.31 xG against 0.89. Al Riyadh won 9 corners to 2 and had 7 saves compared with 4 for the home side, with offsides level at 2 each.
Sultan Al-Essa was booked in the 4th minute, Teddy Okou on 52 minutes and Hussam Majrashi on 76. Al Diriyah's cautions went to Lovro Chelfi on 62 minutes, Enzo Millot on 64 and Sultan Al-Farhan in the 90th minute plus 2. Neither side had a red card.
