Al Nassr Riyadh beat Al Riyadh 4-0 in the Pro League, scoring twice before half-time and twice after it in a one-sided away win.

Match Summary

Al Nassr Riyadh seized control in the first half and never let Al Riyadh settle. A. Al Amri had the visitors in front after 18 minutes, Angelo the provider, and the pattern of the contest was already clear. Al Riyadh offered little in reply as the half developed. Angelo then scored himself in the 45th minute, sending Al Nassr Riyadh in at the break with a two-goal lead.

The second half did not change the story. Joao Felix added a third in the 58th minute, putting the result beyond reach. Al Riyadh still could not force a save of note. C. Ronaldo finished the scoring in the 83rd minute, with A. Yahya supplying the assist, as Al Nassr Riyadh closed out a 4-0 result.

Key Moments

The first-half lead forced Al Riyadh to chase a side that already had more of the ball. Going into the interval two down left no simple reset, and the hosts never built a platform to come back. Once the visitors stretched the advantage after the break, the night was about how many they would score, not whether Al Riyadh could recover.
