Al-Nasr to Secure the "Full Marks"

Riyadh (AFP) – Defending champions Al-Nassr hope to maintain their perfect start when they travel to face Al-Ettifaq on Tuesday at the Ijgo Stadium in Dammam, in a top-of-the-table clash in the third round of the Saudi Pro League.

Al-Nassr have delivered impressive performances since the start of the new season, opening their campaign with a 3-0 victory over Al-Fateh in the absence of their veteran Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo.

The “CR7” returned to wear his team’s jersey as a substitute, opening his account for the season by scoring the final goal in a 4-0 win against hosts Al-Riyadh in the second round.

After their victories over Al-Riyadh and Al-Fateh, Al-Ettifaq aim to continue their successful run and seek a third win, benefiting from home advantage and the support of their fans.

In other matches today, Abha will face Al-Gharafa, Al-Taawoun will play Al-Fayha, and Al-Shabab will take on Al-Riyadh.
