The first day of the Saudi Pro League ended on Monday evening with a prestigious clash between two historic clubs in the Saudi championship. Al-Ettifaq received Al-Nassr, deprived of most of its stars like Marcelo Brozovic, Alex Telles, Seko Fofana, Anderson Talisca and Cristiano Ronaldo. Only Sadio Mané was therefore established. For their part, the locals, under the leadership of Steven Gerrard, could count on Jordan Henderson and Moussa Dembélé. The Senegalese, a new recruit from Al-Nassr, also opened his goal counter from the start of this meeting after good work from Ali al-Hassan who found Sadio Mané in the heart of the area to conclude (4th, 0- 1). If the rest of the first period was rather calm, the meeting got carried away on the return from the locker room.

After an error by goalkeeper Nawaf Al-Aqidi, Robin Quaison was able to equalize (47th, 1-1) then Moussa Dembélé, on receiving a good cross, punished the opposing defense and Al-Ettifaq completely reversed the situation in less than ten minutes (53rd, 2-1). In the process, Sadio Mané tumbled down the right and crossed back full axis in front of the area to find Abdulmajeed Al-Sulaiheem whose shot hit the right post (55th). The rhythm of the match then fell and Al-Nassr was unable to catch up until the final whistle despite a goal from Sadio Mané, signaled in an offside position (89th). An oh so important first victory for the locals who are kicking off their season in the Saudi Pro League ideally while the visitors will have to glean their first point on the second day of the Saudi championship against the team of Al-Taawon.
