Al-Ittihad complete comeback to beat Al-Nassr 3-2

Al-Ittihad completed a 3-2 comeback victory over Al-Nassr on Wednesday, May 7, at Al-Awwal Park in the Saudi Pro League.
Al-Nassr took an early lead with goals by Senegal international Sadio Mane in the third minute and Ayman Yahya in the 37th minute, despite a VAR check on the second goal.
Al-Ittihad gained momentum after halftime with Karim Benzema scoring in the 49th minute, N'Golo Kante equalizing shortly after, and Algeria international Houssem Aouar netting the winner in stoppage time.
Al-Ittihad sits atop the league with 71 points and a six-point lead over Al-Hilal, while Al-Nassr remains fourth with 60 points, making the loss a setback to their AFC Champions League qualification hopes.
Cristiano Ronaldo led Al-Nassr but performed poorly with one shot on target and generated fan criticism, while Al-Ittihad strengthened their title bid and moved closer to a domestic double.
