  WHAT HAPPENED?

  After dropping two crucial points against defending champions Al-Hilal last week, Al-Nassr got back to winning ways as they edged out Al-Riyadh 1-0 courtesy of a first-half strike from Mane. In between, the Saudi giants had faced reigning Asian champions Al-Ain in the midweek in the AFC Champions League, where they picked up a thumping 5-1 with Ronaldo finding his name on the scoresheet.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  It was a crucial win for Stefano Pioli's side who are currently six points adrift of league leaders Al-Hilal and five points behind second-placed Al-Ittihad. While Al-Nassr are yet to lose a league game in the 2024-25 campaign, they have been held to a draw on four occasions which has affected their league position. Ronaldo, who has won just one trophy since his much-hyped move to the Middle East in January 2023, will be desperate to bag the league title in the current campaign.
