Sadio Mané delivered a masterclass on Monday evening, scoring four goals as Al Nassr demolished Al Okhdood 9-0 in a dominant Saudi Pro League performance.
The Senegalese forward, deputising in the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo, proved unstoppable as he netted his first-ever quadruple in a single match. Mané struck just before half-time and then added three more goals in a devastating second-half spell to complete a landmark personal achievement.
The 32-year-old opened his account with a penalty in first-half stoppage time (45+6′) before finding the net again in the 59th, 64th, and 74th minutes.
Each goal underlined his finishing prowess and reaffirmed his importance to the Al Nassr attack.
Monday’s performance marked a significant moment in Mané’s career, not just for the number of goals scored, but also for the confidence and control he displayed throughout the encounter.
It was the first time the former Liverpool and Bayern Munich star had registered four goals in a single game—a rare feat at any level of the professional game.
Mané’s clinical display was central to Al Nassr’s emphatic result, which saw the Riyadh-based club dismantle their opponents with ease.
His pace, movement, and composure in front of goal were constant threats to the Al Okhdood defence, who were simply unable to contain him.
With this latest haul, Mané’s tally for the season across all competitions now stands at 17 goals and 11 assists from 44 appearances.
His overall contribution continues to be crucial in Al Nassr’s campaign both domestically and in continental competitions.
Affectionately known as the “Lion of Teranga”, Mané has become a key figure at the Saudi club, often stepping up in crucial moments.
In Ronaldo’s absence, he not only led by example but also filled the void left by the Portuguese icon with authority and flair.
The result itself was a statement win for Al Nassr, who showed ruthless intent from start to finish.
While several players got on the scoresheet, it was Mané who stole the spotlight with a performance that may go down as one of his finest since arriving in the Saudi Pro League.
His four-goal explosion was met with widespread praise, as fans and pundits alike acknowledged the significance of the achievement.
For a player who has already had a storied career across Europe, Monday’s match added yet another chapter to his legacy.
As the season continues, Mané’s influence will remain pivotal to Al Nassr’s aspirations, particularly with Ronaldo’s availability fluctuating. Whether leading the line or supporting from the wings, his versatility and consistency are proving vital to the squad’s balance.
For now, though, all eyes are on the Senegalese star’s remarkable night—a reminder of his enduring class and ability to rise to any occasion.
