Al-Nassr Tops Saudi Pro League After Mane Ronaldo Goals

Al-Nassr secured a 2-0 victory over reigning champions Al-Ittihad in a pivotal Saudi Pro League match, moving three points clear at the top of the standings with a perfect start to their season. Sadio Mane opened the scoring early with a volley from Kingsley Coman's cross and later assisted Cristiano Ronaldo, who headed in the second goal, showcasing their strong partnership on the field. This win ended Al-Ittihad's 19-game unbeaten home run in the league and marked Al-Nassr's fourth consecutive league victory, maintaining their unbeaten record and solid defensive performance. Ronaldo now has six goals in six matches against Al-Ittihad, highlighting his efficiency, while Al-Nassr's strong start mirrors previous title-winning campaigns in 2014-15 and 2018-19. Despite some missed chances, particularly by Ronaldo and Al-Ittihad's Steven Bergwijn, Al-Nassr controlled most of the match and kept a clean sheet. The victory reinforces Al-Nassr's firm intentions to challenge for the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League title.
