- RED CARD- Mosquera comes out of his box to clear the ball as Ghareeb chased the same. Ghareeb wins the race and shoots at goal and Ghareeb drops down to make the save and ends up handling the ball outside the area. The referee shows a red card but there will be a VAR check.

- 75’ GOOALL! NAS 3-0 FYH! RONALDO THIS TIME!
- First goal after turning 40 and Ronaldo does what he is best known for – find the net. A cross comes in from the right from Boushal and Ronaldo rushes inside the box at full pace and buries the ball into the bottom left-corner. As his mother cheers him from the stands, the Portuguese does his iconic ‘Siuuu’ celebration.
- 72’ GOOALL! NAS 2-0 FYH! DURAN GRABS BRACE!
- Duran has found the net again and what a league debut this is turning out to be, that too in front of home fans. Mane finds Duran with an exquisite cross from the left flank and the Colombian gets the telling touch to take the ball past an onrushing Mosquera and find the net.
- Ronaldo pulls off his marker at the last moment and gets a header away at goal after getting at the end of an aerial cross inside the box. However, he fails to keep his effort on target.
- A minute later, some loose defending by Al Fayha allows Nassr to get the ball on the right flank. Mane passes the ball to Ronaldo in the box, who runs at goal and shoots at the near post. The effort is again off target.
- Booking: Brozovic becomes the latest player to see a yellow card in the match.
- Mane puts the ball inside the net, but for the second time in the match, he will not get a goal because there was an offside, which preceded his goal. Duran was in an offside position when he received the ball at the edge of the box.
- Al Nassr subs: IN- Qasheesh, Al Sulaiheem OUT- Angelo, Al Najdi
- Duran tries to wriggle out of a tight position at the edge of the box but ends up going down. The Al Nassr players appeal for a freekick but the referee waves play to continue.
- It was an awkward one for Mosquera as Ronaldo slid in to tap the loose ball home but the Fayha keeper does well to maintain composure and clear the ball to safety.
- Angelo’s corner finds Laporte who has a free header at goal. The Spaniard does get a header away but it is straight at Mosquera, who does well to hold on.

- Booking: Al Nassr’s Boushal sees a yellow card for a late challenge
- Sakala sets up Shukurov for a shot from the edge of the box and the latter obliges. Shukurov catche his shot brilliantly and the ball was heading towards the top corner but the effort is matches by an equally brilliant save from Bento.
- Al Nassr leads 1-0 against Al Fayha as the second-half kicks-off at the Al Awwal Park in Riyadh.

- Jhon Duran’s goal keeps Al Nassr in a 1-0 lead against Al Fayha as the referee blows his whistle for half-time.
- Mane lobs the ball towards Ronaldo, who had timed his run well to stay onside. But the weight on Mane’s pass was too much for the Portuguese.
- Two minutes added at the end of the first-half!
- Sakala makes a mazy run and rides a couple of challenges to make his way inside the box. But he ends up taking a touch too many and Brozovic makes the block after the Fayha forward gets his shot away.
- Sadio Mane takes a shot at goal from distance. The effort has power but lacks direction as the ball goes straight to Mosquera, who manages to make the save and hold onto the ball.
- February 07, 2025 21:27
- Booking: Al Fayha defender Ziyad Al Sahafi is the player to go into the referee’s book this evening as he is shown a yellow card.
- Al Fayha wastes a big chance to get the equaliser – Lopez gets at the end of an aerial pass and brings down the ball with excellent control. He shoots low at goal, forcing a good save from Bento. The rebound falls to Sakala, who has a fairly easy chance to hit the target but ends up ballooning his shot from close distance.
- Mane finds Ronaldo inside the box with an aerial through ball but the Portuguese’s first touch lets him down as he loops the ball into Mosquera’s hands.
- Angelo spots Ronaldo’s run off the shoulder of a Fayha defender and finds the latter with a good pass. Ronaldo makes his way inside the box and squares it to Mane, who taps the ball inside the open net but the goal will not stand because of offside. Ronaldo was in an offside position when Angelo played the pass to him.
- Fayha had created some momentum before the goal, which saw the team play some good attacking football in the final third but that has gone down since the goal and Nassr looks in control.

- 22’ GOOAL! NAS 1-0 FYH! FIRST GOAL FOR DURAN!
- And Jhon Duran has arrived in Saudi football as he gets his first goal for Al Nassr, which takes a 1-0 lead. Another piece of sloppy defending by Fayha allowed Nassr to snatch the ball in the final third. Duran gets the ball inside the box and finds the bottom right-corner with an excellent finish.
- Colombian forward Jhon Duran scored his first goal for Al-Nassr during the side’s Saudi Pro League 2024-25 match against Al Feiha at the Al-Awwal Park on Friday.
- Pozuelo loses the ball and Duran pounces on the opportunity as he runs at goal with acres of green ahead of him. Ronaldo makes a supporting run but Duran goes for the shot himself but his grounded effort is dealt easily by Mosquera.
- Pozuelo swings a dangerous corner inside the box and Smalling does well to flick the ball toward the back post. It is a nervy moment for the Al Nassr defence but Al Najdi does well to intercept the ball and clear it to safety.
- Sakala makes an excellent run down the left flank and flashes a low cross across the face of goal but there is no Al Fayha player to attack the cross and Al Nassr regains possession.
- Duran gets a glancing header away at goal from an Al Nassr corner but he fails to keep it on target. Ronaldo had also jumped for the ball right in front of Duran.
- Ronaldo gets the ball on the right flank and crosses inside the Fayha box. The cross, however, is too deep as Boushal chases the ball and does well to win a throw-in.
- Ronaldo gets the ball and cuts in and looks for a shooting opportunity but Smalling is alert enough to read the play and make an effective tackle.
- Al Nassr winger Angelo Gabriel takes a shot at goal from the edge of the box but Chris Smalling makes an important block and gets the ball to safety.
- It was an awkward landing for Al Nassr defender Aymeric Laporte as he jumped to make a clearing header. He hobbles for a while but play does not stop. It remains to be seen whether he can shake it off.
