Damac 1-2 Al‑Nassr LIVE Score, Saudi Pro League: Ronaldo Doubles Lead For Dominant Visitors

Harkass head the ball into the back of the net, and Damac are back in the game!! It's a super delivery into the box from the corner, and Harkass jumps over everyone to head it in from the near post past Bento. Damac score at home only for the sixth time this season.

An hour of football has been played, and we see changes for both sides. First, Al-Nassr bring on Alkhaibari to replace Coman. The hosts then make a double substitution, with Yahya Naji and Yakou Meite coming on. Making the way are Sharahili and Al-Ghamdi.

Goal number 960 for Cristiano Ronaldo, who taps in from the near post after a fine low cross from Joao Felix. The Portuguese connection at the top does it again for Al-Nassr, who double their lead at the start of the second half. Jorge Jesus can breathe easy now.

The referee blows his whistle to get the second half underway, with Al-Nassr getting the ball rolling. Damac, still in the game and trailing by just one goal, make a change at right back as Al-Khaibre replaces Al-Hawsawi.

The referee blows his whistle and brings the first half to an end. Ghareeb, making his first league start of the season, has put his side up early. Al-Nassr, for all their dominance, will be looking to solidify their lead in the second half. Stay tuned!

A brilliant through ball sets Felix free in the box, and the Portuguese smashes his shot against the crossbar. That's the second good chance for him in the space of a minute. Will Al-Nassr come to rue these wasted chances?

Half an hour of football has been tough going for the home side. There was a huge penalty shout against Harkass. The ball struck his hand in the box, but the referee and VAR waved play on without punishment. Damac have been completely clueless going forward, and Al-Nassr, for now, are not worried.

A piledriver from the edge of the box by Angelo struck Bedrane in a soft spot with full force. The centre-back goes down in pain, but is eventually alright to continue. Meanwhile, Al-Nassr continue to boss posession, with Ronaldo looking particularly dangerous with his movements.

Ghareeb puts the visitors ahead! After an early effort that was almost poked in by Ronaldo, the Saudi forward puts his side ahead with a brilliant finish. A stroke of fortune helped Coman's cross onto his feet, and he drove it low past the Damac keeper after some terrific footwork.

The referee blows his whistle, and the home side in red get us underway in tonight's Saudi Pro League match. Al-Nassr win posession and are on the attacking right away.

Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to feature for Al-Nassr against Damac tonight, having returned to full training after a precautionary rest earlier in the week.

Despite initial concerns when Ronaldo skipped Monday's group session for recovery work, Al-Riyadiyah confirmed the move was purely preventive, aimed at managing fatigue from two matches in quick succession. The veteran forward rejoined team training the following day.
