Al Nassr opened their Saudi Pro League campaign in commanding fashion, defeating Al Riyadh 4–0 away at Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium in the Malaz district of Riyadh on 21 August 2026, as part of the 2026–27 season.
Abdulelah Al-Amri put the visitors ahead in the 18th minute, and Ângelo Gabriel doubled the lead in first-half stoppage time (45’+1). After the break, João Félix added a third in the 58th minute. Cristiano Ronaldo, who came on as a substitute around the 62nd minute, sealed the scoreline in the 83rd minute with a left-footed finish after a pass from Ayman Yahya.
The result leaves Al Nassr with two wins from two league matches, six points, and a goal difference of +7 following earlier 3–0 and 4–0 victories.
