At 3:00 a.m. Beijing time on April 6, the 27th round of the 2023-2024 Saudi Arabia League season, Riyadh Victory challenged Damac on the road. In this game, Crowe came on as a substitute until the 66th minute and then nearly assisted his teammate to break the goal, while Laporte scored the only goal of the game in the 90th minute. At the end of the match, Riyadh Victory shut out Damac 1-0 on the road.

    The match started with a fierce battle between the two sides. Riyadh Victory showed a strong desire to attack in the opening stages, and in the fourth minute, they took advantage of a corner kick from the right side, and Ojami threw his head at the goal from the center of the front of the penalty area, but the ball went just wide of the goal and failed to break through.

    Then, in the 14th minute of the match, Riyadh Victory suffered an injury blow as Naji was unable to keep playing due to injury and was replaced by Brozovic. This change undoubtedly had an impact on Riyadh Victory's offense.

    Riyadh Victory's offense picked up momentum in the second half of the first half. In the 35th minute, they were awarded a free kick on the right side of the center field. Brozovic took the penalty and sent the ball to the middle of the penalty area, where Laporte took a left-footed shot, but failed to get it right and missed the chance to score. Although both sides had some chances in the first half, but in the end they were unable to change the score, and the two sides exchanged 0-0 at the end of the half.

    The match resumed and Riyadh Victory's offense continued in the second half. In the 47th minute, Mane sent a precise direct ball into the center of the field, and Nemer got the ball to smear into the penalty area with his right foot and shot low, but the ball went off the left post. Crowe then came on for Nemer in the 66th minute. His appearance certainly injected new energy into Riyadh's offense.

    As the match entered its final stages, the physical strength of the players on both sides decreased, but the tension of the match did not decrease at all. In the 80th minute, Crowe knocked in a cross near the right touchline and Garib hit the crossbar with an unmarked right-footed shot from the center of the goal, making Riyadh Victory miss another opportunity.

    However, just as the match was coming to an end, Riyadh Victory finally seized the opportunity. In the 90th minute, Riyadh Victory got a corner kick from the right side, and Brozovic took the penalty kick to the center of the penalty area, where Laporte scored a header to finish the game! The goal brought the whole stadium to its feet, and Riyadh Victory beat Damac 1-0 with this goal.
