Good Evening ladies and gentlemen. This is the start of our live blog for the Saudi Pro League matchday 20 fixture between Al-Nassr and Al-Riyadh. Follow along for the real-time updates, live scores and more.
The Prince Turki bin Abdul Aziz Stadium, which is home to Al-Riyadh, will host Al-Nassr on SPL matchday 20. The match can be live streamed on the Fancode app/website.
Al-Nassr: Bento (GK), Sultan (C), Simakan, Inigo, Saad, Al-Hassan, Angelo, Ayman, Ghareeb, Sadio Mane and Joao Felix
Al-Riyadh: Milan Borjan (GK), Al-Bawardi, Al-Khaibari, Yuan Barbit, Abdullah Al-Khaibari (C), Soro, Gonzalez, Al-Sayahi, Toze, Oko and Sultan Haroun
The big news is that Cristiano Ronaldo, Al-Nassr's top-scorer this season, has been left out of the squad. The Portuguese ace is reportedly unhappy with the club's inactivity in the winter transfer window.
Off we go for this crucial matchday 20 fixture between Al-Nassr and Al-Riyadh. Important 3 points up for grabs for both the sides, let's see who scores the first goal.
Al-Nassr had an early chance missed by their Senegalese striker Sadio Mane, who is fresh off winning the Africa Cup of Nations last month.
Al-Nassr have made positive strides forward in this game but are yet to score through clear-cut chances. Joao Felix had a right-footed shot from outside the box by Al-Riyadh goalkeeper Milan Borja.
Who else but Sadio Mane? The Senegalese sensation broke the deadlock 5 minutes before the half-time with a terrific shot from the centre of the box. If this scoreline remains intact, then Al-Nassr would take the top spot in the SPL table momentarily.

Al-Riyadh get the ball rolling for the 2nd half of this crucial encounter at the Prince Turki bin Abdulaziz Stadium.
It will be fair to say that Al-Nassr have been a little clumsy in the 2nd half and there was also an injury scare for the Big Yellow as Joao Felix was down momentarily but he is back on.
Al-Riyadh's Enes Sali squanders a very good opportunity to equalize for his side but the angle was too difficult for him to finish with his left foot. Overall, it has been a good performance for Al-Nassr, matter of a few minutes now.
Four minutes have been added on to the clock to close out the 2nd half of this match.
Al-Nassr will be on top of the points table for now and if Al-Hilal lose their game against Al-Ahli, which starts shortly, the Big Yellow will be ahead in the race for the Saudi Pro League 2025-26 title.
