Al Fayha 1-3 Al Nassr Player Ratings: Mane & Co. Register a Comeback to Go Top Of The Table With an Important Away Win

Summary

Cristiano Ronaldo hit the post from the penalty spot early on, and Al Fayha scored from an Al Amri own goal to take the lead.
Sadio Mane scored in the 72nd minute to initiate the comeback.
Orlando Mosquera's own goal in the 80th minute put the visitors in the lead, while Abdullah Al-Hamdan put the game to bed just five minutes later to earn all three points for Al Nassr.

Al Nassr clinched a narrow 2-1 victory away from home against Al Fayha on matchday 24 of the Saudi Pro League 2025/26 season. The visitors struggled from the first whistle itself, as the home side had their plans well chalked out and did a pretty good job in containing the dangerous attacking players of the Yellow Brigade.

One of the best footballers of all time, Cristiano Ronaldo, missed a penalty in the 8th minute of the game, something that is quite unusual on his part.

An own goal from centre-back Al Amri put the hosts in the lead just before the half-time whistle. The visitors slowly grew into the match but found it hard to breach Al Fayha's defence until the 72nd minute, when one of the best AFCON players, Sadio Mane, equalised with a right-footed shot from close range.

Another bizarre own goal happened, this time through Orlando Mosquera, which gave Al Nassr the much-needed lead in the 80th minute. The visitors pushed for a third goal to kill the game and achieved it through Abdullah Al-Hamdan, who finished Felix's assist with a brilliant strike.

Al Fayha showed courage and prevented the Saudi giants to some extent, but in the end, Al Nassr showed nerves of steel and picked up an important win to go top of the league standings.
