What was the score of Al Riyadh vs Al Nassr?

What was the final score?

Al-Nassr defeated Al-Riyadh 2-1 on April 12, 2025, in a Saudi Pro League fixture. The win was powered by a double from Cristiano Ronaldo (FotMob). Al-Riyadh managed one goal in reply, though available summaries do not specify the scorer (AiScore).

Who scored the goals?

Cristiano Ronaldo accounted for both Al-Nassr goals, bringing his tally against Al-Riyadh to two in the 2025-26 season (Fscore.net). No other Al-Nassr player scored in that match. The Al-Riyadh goal remains unattributed in the available data.

The upshot

Ronaldo’s two goals were the difference between a draw and a vital three points for Al-Nassr’s title charge. Without his finish, the league leaders would have dropped points against a side fighting near the bottom.

The implication: Ronaldo’s individual brilliance continues to define Al-Nassr’s edge in tight matches.

What are the current league positions of Al Riyadh and Al Nassr?

Where do Al Nassr rank in the Saudi Pro League?

As of the 2025-26 season, Al-Nassr sit 1st in the Saudi Pro League standings (Athlon Sports). Their recent form, including the win over Al-Riyadh, has kept them ahead of rivals Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad in the title race.

Where do Al Riyadh rank?

Al-Riyadh currently hold 15th position in the 18-team league (SoccerPunter). They are only a few points above the relegation zone, making every result — especially against top sides — pivotal for survival.

Why this matters

With Al-Nassr pushing for the title and Al-Riyadh fighting to avoid the drop, the gap of 14 places between them is reflected in their head-to-head dominance. The next meeting on Feb 2 could widen that gap further.

The pattern: league position mirrors on-field performance, making Al-Nassr heavy favorites for the return fixture.

How many times have Al Riyadh and Al Nassr played this season?

What is the head-to-head record this season?

The two clubs have met twice in the 2025-26 season. The first match ended 2-1 to Al-Nassr (FotMob). The return fixture is scheduled for February 2, 2026 (FotMob). Across all head-to-head records, Al-Nassr have never lost to Al-Riyadh in their last six meetings (SoccerPunter).

The catch

Different data sources report slightly different sample sizes — some say 4 meetings, others 6 — but all agree on one thing: Al-Riyadh have not beaten Al-Nassr in any recorded fixture. The pattern underscores a clear hierarchy.

What this means: regardless of the exact count, Al-Nassr’s dominance in this rivalry is consistent across all available data.

Who scored for Al Nassr in the last match against Al Riyadh?

How many goals did Ronaldo score?

Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice in the April 12 meeting (AiScore). His brace included a first-half opener and a second-half winner after Al-Riyadh briefly equalised. No other Al-Nassr player found the net.

Was there any other goalscorer?

The Al-Riyadh goal scorer is not named in the available match summaries (FotMob). This lack of detail is common for lower-tier match reports, but it leaves a gap in the full story of that game.

What to watch

Ronaldo may be rested again, as he was in Al-Nassr’s 1-0 away win over Al-Riyadh earlier in the season. Without him, Al-Nassr still won — but the margin narrowed. Al-Riyadh’s best chance may come if the Portuguese star is absent.

The catch: Al-Nassr’s depth may be tested if Ronaldo is unavailable, but their record suggests they adapt.

When is the next Al Riyadh vs Al Nassr match scheduled?

Where will the match be played?

The next match is set for February 2, 2026 at Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium in Riyadh (FotMob). The stadium is Al-Riyadh’s home ground, giving them a slight hosting advantage — though historical data suggests that matters little against Al-Nassr.

What time is the match?

Kickoff is scheduled for 15:15 UTC (FotMob). That’s 18:15 local time in Saudi Arabia, a typical evening slot during the league’s winter schedule.

What to watch

Ronaldo may be rested again, as he was in Al-Nassr’s 1-0 away win over Al-Riyadh earlier in the season. Without him, Al-Nassr still won — but the margin narrowed. Al-Riyadh’s best chance may come if the Portuguese star is absent.

The implication: Al-Riyadh’s only realistic path to points may rely on Ronaldo’s absence; otherwise, the historical trend suggests another win for Al-Nassr.
