In the early morning of January 10 (Vietnam time), Al-Nassr hosted Al-Akhdoud in the 14th round of the Saudi Arabia national championship - Saudi Pro League 2024-2025.
Despite facing an early disadvantage, when Al-Akhdoud's Godwin opened the scoring in the 6th minute, Al-Nassr did not give up. Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates did not let the psychological pressure discourage them. Immediately after conceding the goal, Ronaldo's team quickly fought back strongly.
In the 28th minute, Sadio Mane scored the equalizer to make it 1-1, helping Al-Nassr regain control of the game. Not stopping there, the home team continued to maintain pressure and were rewarded accordingly. In the 42nd minute, Ronaldo calmly converted the penalty, bringing the score to 2-1.
In the second half, Al-Nassr continued to maintain a strong attack and in the 88th minute, Mane completed his double with a close-range finish to seal a 3-1 victory. This was an excellent performance from Mane as he both helped his team equalize and scored the decisive goal.
With this victory, Al-Nassr has 28 points, temporarily surpassing Al-Qahsiad to take 3rd place in the Saudi Pro League rankings. Despite playing one more match, Ronaldo's team is still close to the top group with a not-so-far gap compared to the leading teams. In particular, Ronaldo, with his 11th goal of the season, continues to show impressive form despite being 39 years old.
