Al-Nassr secured a decisive 4-1 victory over Al-Khaleej, reinforcing their position at the top of the Saudi Pro League. Joao Felix and Cristiano Ronaldo were instrumental in this win at Al-Awwal Park.
The match saw Al-Nassr maintain their perfect start to the 2025-26 season, marking their ninth consecutive win under Jorge Jesus.
Joao Felix opened the scoring six minutes before halftime with a precise side-footed shot from the penalty area. Shortly after, he assisted Wesley, who scored with a powerful strike into the top-right corner. Despite Al-Khaleej's efforts, including Murad Al Hawsawi's goal early in the second half, Al-Nassr remained dominant.
As Al-Khaleej sought an equaliser, Sadio Mane extended Al-Nassr's lead with a brilliant finish in the 77th minute. The match took a turn when Dimitrios Kourbelis received a red card in the 90th minute, adding to Al-Khaleej's frustrations. In stoppage time, Ronaldo sealed the victory with an impressive overhead kick.
The game statistics reflected both teams' attacking intent. Al-Nassr recorded 1.71 expected goals (xG) from 21 shots, while Al-Khaleej had 1.70 xG from 12 attempts. Joao Felix was efficient with two shots on target and five entries into the final third. Meanwhile, Ronaldo had eight shots, four on target, and created two significant chances.
Al-Nassr's current scoring streak is remarkable, having found the net in their last 62 Saudi Pro League matches since 2011-2012. This achievement underscores their offensive prowess and consistency in front of goal. The team's Portuguese stars have been pivotal in maintaining this record.
The match concluded with Ronaldo's spectacular goal despite Anthony Morris' efforts in goal for Al-Khaleej. This result further solidifies Al-Nassr's dominance in the league as they continue their unbeaten run this season.
