Al-Ittihad 0-2 Al-Nassr LIVE Score, Saudi Pro League: Sadio Mane, Ronaldo Give Visitors Lead At Half-Time

Ronaldo leads Al-Nassr out of the tunnel, and the players take their place on the pitch. The visitors, leading two-nil, get the second half underway. No changes for either side at the break.

The referee blows the half-time whistle, and this has been a first half that Al-Nassr have dominated through and through. Sadio Mane has been the star for Al-Alami, scoring the opener and then assisting Ronaldo's second goal.

A big blow for Al-Ittihad, as French midfielder Houssem Aouar can't continue due to injury and has to go off the field. Faisel Al-Ghamdi replaces him.

The tempo of the game has dropped a little bit, but Al-Ittihad are trying to take advantage of the high-line. However, Bergwijn is having trouble keeping himself onside. The fourth official holds up his board - a minimum of three minutes to be added on.

After so many shots off target, Al-Nassr finally double their advantage, and who better to get on the end of a cross other than Ronaldo. Mane plays a terrific floater in the box, and Ronaldo makes a late run and gets on the end of it, giving Rajkovic no chance.

Al-Ittihad almost took advantage of Al-Nassr's high backline, with Diaby finding himself with acres of space down the right flank after beign found by a long ball. However, the flag goes up slightly belatedly, which angers centre-back Simakan.

Time for the first cooling break on a hot Friday night.

Ronaldo is too strong on the back of Fabinho, and the Brazilian goes down. The referee blows for a foul, and Ronaldo kicks the ball away in frustration. The referee wants to have a word with him, but the Portuguese superstar does not turn around until at least a metre of walking away. Still, for some reason, there's no yellow card.

A good chance for the home side to level scores. Bergwijn is played through, and he takes a touch to steady himself before having a go at goal. Bento, who was dropped from the squad previously due to poor form, stay strong to keep the shot out.

What a chance for Ronaldo to double Nassr's lead! It's Coman on the right flank again, floating in a peach of a delivery. Ronaldo, despite some pressure from the defence, gets a header from the centre of the box, but the ball goes wide. Considering it's CR7, that had to be on target.

Sublime build-up to the goal by Al-Nassr wingers, and what a finish at the end of it from Mane! Brilliant footwork from Felix, who lays it to Coman. The Frenchman got around his marker before cutting it back across the face of the goal. Mane got a first-time finish, half-volleying the cross into the back of the net.

Best chance of the game so far, and it falls to Al-Ittihad. A cross from the right flank by Diaby found Bergwijn on the edge of the box. The Dutch player tried to create some space for himself, but his eventual shot was blocked by the defender.

The opening four minutes or so have been entirely dominated by the away side. Joao Felix had a very good opportunity within 90 seconds, but his shot from inside the box was blocked by a defender. No attacking threat from Ittihad at the moment.

The atmosphere is absolutely stunning in Jeddah tonight, and home side Al-Ittihad get tonight's top of the table clash underway. However, Al-Nassr win posession and are immediately on the attack.

Al-Ittihad fans have put out all the stops in their tifo work. The players pay homage to the fans before kick-off.

The players are out on the pitch, warming up ahead of the match. Karim Benzema looks absolutely fit after returning for in injury outlay. Meanwhile, Ronaldo is having a discussion with Joao Felix.

Kick-off in seven minutes or so.
