The difference-maker was Sadio Mané. In the 40th minute, the Senegalese international made a perfectly timed run in behind and finished with clinical composure. This decisive goal once again showcased his vital influence on Al-Nassr's attacking play.

As the technical and attacking leader in Ronaldo's absence, Mané drove his team to a hard-fought, precious win. Thanks to this result, Al-Nassr temporarily returns to the top of the Saudi league, reaffirming their ambitions at the summit.
