Al-Nassr delivered a ruthless and dominant performance against Al-Khaleej, securing a crushing 9-0 victory, one of the most emphatic results of the Saudi Pro League season. The match, part of the 31st round of the league, showed from the outset that Al-Nassr had no intention of slowing down. The first goal came in the 16th minute when Ayman Yahya capitalized on a defensive error and converted Sultan Al-Ghannam’s cross.

Just four minutes later, Juan Durán doubled the lead with a powerful strike from outside the box. Marcelo Brozović added the third in the 27th minute with a thunderous long-range effort. Finally, Sadio Mané converted a penalty in the 45+6th minute to make it 4-0 at halftime.

The second half began disastrously for Al-Khaleej when their goalkeeper, Paulo Vítor, was sent off in the 47th minute after a reckless challenge on Durán. Just four minutes later, Durán scored his second goal from a brilliant assist by Otávio. In the 59th minute, Mané struck again with a long-range screamer to make it 6-0.

Mané, the undisputed star of the match, completed his hat-trick in the 64th minute with a clinical finish from Nawaf Boushal’s assist. Ten minutes later, Mané scored his fourth goal—Al-Nassr’s eighth—from another precise Boushal cross, securing a ‘super hat-trick.’

In the 90+4th minute, Mohammed Maran converted a penalty to complete the 9-0 humiliation. With this win, Al-Nassr climbed to third place with 63 points, while Al-Khaleej remained 17th with 28 points, edging closer to relegation.
