Ivan Toney Nets First Goals for Al-Ahli in 4-2 Win

Ivan Toney netted his first two goals for Al-Ahli in their 4-2 victory over Damac in the Saudi Pro League. The former Brentford forward, playing in his third match for the club scored his first goal early in the second half from close range to give Al-Ahli a 2-1 lead. After Damac leveled the score again, ex-Liverpool star Roberto Firmino restored Al-Ahli’s lead with a goal in the eighth minute of injury time.

Toney then secured the win with his second goal, tapping in from close range. Elsewhere, Cristiano Ronaldo continued his remarkable scoring run, netting his 902nd career goal with a penalty as Al-Nassr defeated Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq 3-0. This victory marked the first match in charge for new Al-Nassr manager Stefano Pioli, the former AC Milan boss.

Both matches highlighted the growing influence of top European players in the Saudi Pro League with Ivan Toney and Firmino making key contributions for Al-Ahli while Ronaldo’s penalty helped maintain Al-Nassr’s momentum under their new leadership. Toney’s brace underscores his potential as a key figure for Al-Ahli, as he begins to make his mark in the league.

Meanwhile, Ronaldo’s penalty goal adds yet another milestone to his illustrious career, further cementing his legacy as one of football’s greatest scorers. The Saudi Pro League continues to attract attention with its influx of star talent and both Al-Ahli and Al-Nassr look poised to challenge for top positions in the league as they integrate their marquee players into the fold.
