Sadio Mané played a key role in Al-Nassr's emphatic 5-0 win over Istiqlol Dushanbe in the opening matchday of the Asian Champions League 2.
Coming off the bench in the 66th minute to replace Haroune Camara, the Senegalese international (111 caps, 45 goals) capped off his team's goal-fest in the 90+3rd minute. And what a finish it was!
Set free behind the defense by Abdulrahman Ghareeb, the former Liverpool star left the opposing goalkeeper in his wake before slotting home with remarkable composure.
The goal was quickly shared by the official Asian interclub competitions account, complete with a "frosty" emoji to salute the Lion of Teranga's nerves of steel in front of goal.
Sadio Mané earned a Sofascore rating of 8.2 for his overall performance. He now boasts 3 goals and 1 assist in 4 appearances this season.
For their second Asian Champions League 2 clash, Al-Nassr will travel to Iraq to take on Al-Zawra'a Sports Club.
