Al-Nassr Beat Al-Riyadh 5-1 in Saudi Pro League

Al-Nassr delivered an emphatic performance, defeating Al-Riyadh 5–1 in Round 3 of the Saudi Pro League 2025–2026 season on 20 September 2025 at Al-Awwal Park in Riyadh, in front of a reported crowd of 16,174 spectators.

João Félix opened the scoring early in the sixth minute and later added a second in the 49th minute for a personal brace. Kingsley Coman extended the lead in the 30th minute, before Cristiano Ronaldo struck twice, in the 33rd and 76th minutes, to complete the rout.

Al-Riyadh's only reply came through Mamadou Sylla, who found the net in the 51st minute shortly after the restart, but the visitors were unable to close the gap against a dominant home side.

The victory kept Al-Nassr's early-season momentum intact, taking the team to a perfect nine points from its first three matches. The evening fixture, staged around the standard 21:00 local kick-off, added to the strong atmosphere at one of Riyadh's leading football venues.

For fans in the capital, matches at Al-Awwal Park remain among the most popular live sporting attractions. Tickets for Saudi Pro League fixtures are sold through official club and league channels and stadium ticketing systems, with regular seats generally priced in the range of around 50–150 SAR and higher for premium and VIP categories, depending on the sales channel.
