The match was tense from the opening whistle, but the favorites' class shone through. In the 34th minute, Sadio Mané broke the deadlock with a precise strike, easing the early nerves in this decisive clash. Al-Nassr kept up the pressure in the second half: in the 52nd minute, Kingsley Coman doubled the lead, making it 2-0 and putting the team within touching distance of glory. Damac managed to revive the intrigue by pulling one back from the penalty spot, but the last—and most crucial—word of the season belonged to the greatest goal scorer of all time.

The emphatic full stop in both the title-deciding match and the entire season was delivered by Cristiano Ronaldo himself. The Portuguese icon fired a sensational, pinpoint free-kick into the back of the net, and then, in the 81st minute, hammered home Al-Nassr's fourth goal, completing his brace and sealing the final 4-1 scoreline.

This double marked the 973rd goal of his professional career and officially crowned Al-Nassr as Pro League champions. The 41-year-old captain delivers gold to Al-Nassr and lifts the Pro League trophy high, silencing all the doubters.

Reminder: Cristiano Ronaldo scores a phenomenal free-kick goal.
