Cracking Night in Roshan: Al Nassr Takes Round 20 Awards Without Ronaldo

Al Nassr Dominate Round 20 Awards in Roshan Despite Ronaldo's Absence

Al Nassr players dominated the 20th round prizes of the Roshan Saudi League, despite captain Cristiano Ronaldo missing the previous match against city rivals Riyadh.

Ronaldo sat out as Al Nassr edged their neighbor Riyadh 1-0 in the 20th round.

The only goal came from their Senegalese star Sadio Mane, after a delightful assist from the Portuguese Joao Felix, in the 40th minute.

With this strike, Al Nassr secured two Round 20 honors: Mane's Best Goal and Felix's Best Assist.

Mane outshone the Englishman Josh Brauniel of Shabab and Mali's Mamadou Doumbia of Al Ittihad for the Best Goal.

By the same measure, Felix beat Belgium's Yannick Carrasco of Shabab and Zido Yusuf of Al Fateh for the Best Assist.

And while Shabab lost two awards, their Brazilian goalkeeper Marcelo Grohe did win the Best Save of Round 20 in their 1-0 win over Al Fayha.

Punchline: If trophies had GPS, this night would say "recalculating" until Mane found the net.

Punchline 2: Ronaldo watched from home and probably wondered if his absence was a strategic masterstroke or just a great excuse to nap.
