"Al-Nassr ended their three-game losing streak in the Saudi Pro League, after edging out 10-man Al-Shabab 3-2 on Saturday. Jorge Jesus' side were pegged back from 2-0 up at Al-Awwal Park, but Abdulrahman Ghareeb's first league goal of the season snatched all three points in the five-goal thriller. Just two minutes had elapsed when Al Nassr broke the deadlock, as Saad Yaslam turned Joao Felix's low cross into his own net, while Kingsley Coman's spectacular overhead kick doubled the lead six minutes later."
"The visitors reduced their arrears when Mohamed Simakan diverted Hamman Al Hammami's low centre beyond his own goalkeeper in the 31st minute, while Carlos Junior's neat finish from a Yannick Carrasco throughball levelled the contest on 53 minutes. However, after Vincent Sierro was dismissed for a second bookable offence midway through the second half, Al Nassr capitalised on their numerical advantage with Ghareeb squeezing home the winner after Coman's initial effort was denied."
Al-Nassr ended a three-game losing run with a 3-2 victory over 10-man Al-Shabab at Al-Awwal Park. Saad Yaslam’s own goal and Kingsley Coman’s overhead kick gave Al-Nassr a 2-0 lead before Mohamed Simakan’s deflection and Carlos Junior’s finish levelled the match. Vincent Sierro’s second booking reduced Al-Shabab to ten men, and Abdulrahman Ghareeb converted the decisive goal after a saved Coman effort. Al-Nassr produced 1.5 expected goals from 14 shots to Al-Shabab’s 0.61 from seven. Al-Nassr also equalled an eight-game unbeaten run against Al Shabab, while Yannick Carrasco reached ten direct goal involvements.
