Overview
- Al‑Nassr beat Abha 2-1 at AlAwwal Park after Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring with a 22nd-minute header.
- Abdullah Al‑Hamdan doubled the lead in the 58th minute with a right‑foot finish from the centre of the box.
- Nabil Fekir pulled one back for Abha with a 75th‑minute left‑footed free‑kick and the visitors pressed late but could not equalise.
- Team selection was shaped by absences as Kingsley Coman missed the match with a hamstring problem, João Félix was suspended after receiving his fourth booking, and Sultan Al‑Ghannam remains sidelined with a long‑term cruciate injury.
- The win returns Al‑Nassr to winning ways and keeps them near the top of the Saudi Pro League while underscoring the league's global broadcast reach, including US streaming on Fubo and Fox channels.
