Al-Nassr, boasting talents like Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane, have now chalked up two wins and two losses in their opening four matches.
Stars who once dazzled in the Premier League—Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane, and Riyad Mahrez—lit up the scoreboard in this week’s Saudi Pro League matches.
Former Red Devils frontman Ronaldo was in scintillating form, converting two penalty kicks to help Al-Nassr cruise to a 4-0 victory over Al-Shabab. Interestingly, Ronaldo also had a goal disallowed during the game.
Not content with his own goal tally, Ronaldo passed the baton—or rather, the penalty kick—to Abdulrahman Ghareeb, who unfortunately squandered the opportunity.
Adding a dash of teamwork to his individual brilliance, the Portuguese sensation assisted Sadio Mane for another goal. He was also inches away from a personal hat-trick when he headed the ball against the post, only for Sultan Al-Ghannam to pounce on the rebound and score.
In another match, Al-Ahli’s former Manchester City winger, Riyad Mahrez, kicked off the scoring in a 2-0 triumph against Al-Tai. Al-Tai’s woes were compounded when Alfa Semedo received his marching orders in the 35th minute.
Mahrez didn’t stop at scoring; he also turned provider, setting up Franck Kessie for Al-Ahli’s second goal. With this win, Al-Ahli now stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Al-Ittihad atop the league table, boasting a perfect four wins in as many matches.

Abdulrahman Ghareeb shouldve let Ronaldo take that third pen. Lesson learned, kid.
Sadio Mane teaming up with Ronaldo is like Iron Man teaming up with Captain America. Unbeatable!
Riyad Mahrez in Saudi Pro League is like casting Leonardo DiCaprio in a high school play. Just too good!
If this match was a rock concert, Ronaldo would be the lead guitarist and Mane the vocalist. What a show!
Ronaldo, Mane, Mahrez… the Saudi League is starting to look like the All-Star Premier League. Who’s next, Messi?
Al-Ahli’s on fire this season! Four out of four? That’s insane.
