Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice on his return from injury as Al Nassr came from behind to defeat bottom-placed Al Najma 5-2 in the Saudi Pro League. Sadio Mane also netted a brace, helping Al Nassr extend their lead at the top of the table to six points. The match took place at King Saud University Stadium.
Al Nassr trailed at halftime after Rakan Al-Tulayhi gave Al Najma a shock lead in the 44th minute with a clinical finish. Abdullah Al-Hamdan leveled just before the break, slotting home after Abdulelah Al-Amri headed down Marcelo Brozovic's cross. Sadio Mane then put the hosts ahead, charging into the penalty area and finding the far corner despite a deflection off Nasser Al-Haleel, as noted by commentator Paul Robinson on the Saudi Pro League YouTube channel. Robinson described Mane's finish: 'Once he gets in the 18-yard box, he opens his body up and aims for that far post.'
