Al-Ahli won 3-2, lifting their points to 25 and keeping them in fourth place, while Al-Nassr stayed on 31 and led the standings.

In the game's closing minutes, tensions flared as Majrashi and Félix clashed, with Majrashi delivering a heavy slap that earned him a red card.

The Saudi Football Federation's Disciplinary and Ethics Committee announced on Monday evening that Majrashi is suspended for two matches and fined 20,000 riyals for the incident.
