Cristiano Ronaldo lets Sadio Mane shine as Al Nassr beats Al-Orobah

With a goal in each half, Sadio Mane helped Al-Nassr defeat Al-Orobah 3-0 and get closer to the top two spots in the Saudi Pro League.

The hosts took the lead thanks to a penalty kick from Cristiano Ronaldo, and they went on to win comfortably.

Following a sluggish beginning, Jean Seri was called for a handball, and Ronaldo scored effortlessly from the penalty spot.

On the cusp of halftime, Mane scored his first goal by grabbing hold of Ronaldo's pull-back and putting his low shot into the far side of the net.

He also struck the woodwork and wasted a first-time opportunity by slicing it wide, so he could have scored a hat-trick.

In the 71st minute, Mane did manage to grab his second goal as he headed Nawaf Bu Washi's cross past Gaetan Coucke.

Cristian Tello missed the crossbar with a long-range attempt, which was the closest the visitors could have done to salvage a point.

Mane has been a playmaker this season, having contributed five assists in Al-Nassr's opening five Saudi Pro League games for the team.

He did, however, find his scoring form, netting his first two goals of the season with the help of Ronaldo.
