Damac FC 1-2 Al Nassr Player Ratings: Goals from Ghareeb and Ronaldo Help Al Nassr See off Damac FC Away From Home

Al Nassr travelled to Damac FC's home on matchday 16 of the 2025/26 Saudi Pro League. The contest was pretty one-sided, with Al Nassr dominating 66% posession in the first half only. The visitors put pressure on Damac from the very first whistle.

The hosts were happy to defend in a low block and absorb all the pressure before launching a scathing counter-attack to catch the Al Nassr defence off guard. However, it was the Men In Yellow who drew first blood through a strike from Abdulrahman Ghareeb in the 5th minute.

The forward held his shot for some time to make two defenders commit, before placing the ball way beyond Kewin Kewin, who was just a standing figure. Damac had their chance in the 30th minute when Riyadh Sharahili beat Bento in a one-on-one situation, but the linesman flagged it offside.

The second half began quite strongly for Al Nassr, as one of the best Portuguese players of all-time, Cristiano Ronaldo, pulled off a neat strike from inside the box to add to his already illustrious tally in the 50th minute. His Portuguese teammate, Joao Felix, turned assister this time around.

Damac FC pulled one back in the 68th minute from a corner, which was headed brilliantly by Jamal Harkass of Morocco from Bento's first post. The hosts tried to put the Men in Yellow on the backfoot but they remained cautious and warded off any threat that appeared.
