Al Nassr claimed an important 2-0 victory over Al Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League. The match was played in Jeddah, and it proved to be a decisive result in the early part of the season. With this win, Al Nassr moved to the top of the league table.
The game started with intensity as Sadio Mané gave Al Nassr the lead in the ninth minute. His early goal set the tone for the visitors. Cristiano Ronaldo then doubled the advantage in the 35th minute with a powerful header. Al Ittihad tried to respond, but they could not break down the defense.
This victory was the fourth consecutive league win for Al Nassr. The team has been unbeaten so far this season and now leads the table by three points. Their defense has also been strong, allowing only one goal in the last three matches.
Cristiano Ronaldo continues to be the main star of the side. He recently extended his contract with the club until 2027 and has already scored over 100 goals for Al Nassr. Alongside him, new signings such as João Félix have added extra strength to the squad.
Al Nassr are also competing in multiple tournaments this season, including the AFC Champions League and the King’s Cup. The club has made its ambitions clear by investing in top players and targeting domestic as well as international success.
For Al Ittihad, this was a tough defeat. They entered the match with fitness concerns over Karim Benzema, and their attack lacked sharpness. The loss pushed them down the table and raised questions about their title defense.
Looking ahead, Al Nassr will aim to keep their strong form alive. Consistency in both attack and defense will be crucial if they are to win the Saudi Pro League title this season.
