Al-Nassr strengthened their grip on the Saudi Pro League title race with a hard-fought 1-0 away victory over Al Riyadh, as Sadio Mane's first-half finish proved decisive in the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo, Softfootball reports.
Al Riyadh showed early intent and almost caught the visitors cold inside the opening 10 minutes when Sergio Gonzalez connected with Toze's set-piece, only for his left-footed effort to crash against the crossbar. That scare briefly unsettled Al-Nassr, but they gradually began to impose themselves through Joao Felix, who was the creative heartbeat throughout the contest.
The Portuguese forward twice tested Milan Borjan from range, while Mane fired narrowly wide from close range following a corner.
