A true goal scorer: watch Luciano Rodríguez's goal that tied the game for Neom SC in the Saudi Arabian league.

Luciano Rodríguez was back in the Saudi Arabian soccer spotlight, as the Uruguayan Under-20 World Cup champion in Argentina 2023 scored in Neom SC's 2-2 draw against Al-Taawoun. In the 23rd minute, the striker, who was Uruguayan champion with Liverpool in 2023, broke the deadlock. It all came about thanks to a good sequence of passes that saw the ball reach Abdoulaye Doucouré, who provided a great assist for Rodríguez, who entered the area and shot past goalkeeper Mailson to make it 1-0. Rodríguez, who had a spell at Bahia in Brazil, scored his fourth goal of the season after 23 games for the Saudi team (22 in the Saudi Pro League and one in the King's Cup), where he also has two assists. However, the visiting team equalized through Colombian Roger Martínez in the 70th minute. Although Rodríguez's team, which played the entire match at King Khalid Sport City Stadium, regained the lead six minutes later thanks to Frenchman Alexander Lacazette. It looked like the home side would take all three points, but in the last action of the match, Mohammed Al-Kuwaykibi made it 2-2. Neom SC is now in eighth place in the Saudi Pro League with 33 points from nine wins, six draws, and 11 losses.
