February 25, (THEWILL) – Al Nassr claimed a 2-0 victory against struggling Al Wehda in their Saudi Pro League encounter on Tuesday at King Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium in Mecca.
The result strengthened Al Nassr’s third position in the league standings, taking them to 47 points, while Al Wehda remains rooted to the bottom of the table with 13 points.
Cristiano Ronaldo broke the deadlock in the 48th minute, providing Al Nassr with a crucial advantage early in the second half.
The match remained competitive until the final moments when Sadio Mané converted a penalty in the 10th minute of stoppage time to double the lead and confirm all three points for the visitors.
Al Wehda found it difficult to create meaningful scoring opportunities throughout the fixture, with their attacking efforts proving ineffective against a disciplined Al Nassr defence.
The visitors dominated possession and registered more attempts on target, demonstrating their superior quality across the pitch. Referee Harm Osmers maintained control of the match, issuing a yellow card to Al Wehda defender Jawad El Yamiq in the 96th minute.
The result extends Al Wehda’s concerning run of form as they continue to fight against relegation in the 2025 Saudi Pro League campaign.
Their position at the foot of the table with just 13 points reflects their struggles this season, creating mounting pressure on the team to improve their performances in upcoming fixtures.
For Al Nassr, the victory is another step forward in their pursuit of higher league placement.
Their methodical performance and clinical finishing proved effective, with both Ronaldo and Mané delivering when opportunities arose.
