Ghanaian midfielder Bernard Mensah played a pivotal role in Al Riyadh's 2-1 victory over Al-Raed in the Saudi Pro League.
The match, held at the Al Raid Club Stadium, saw Mensah provide a crucial assist for the equalizing goal, setting the stage for a dramatic comeback.
Despite Al-Raed going down to 10 men after Oumar Gonzalez received a red card in the 27th minute, they managed to take the lead in the 71st minute with a goal from Amir Sayoud.
However, Al Riyadh responded emphatically, with Faïz Selemani equalizing in the 80th minute, thanks to a precise cross from Mensah.
The match reached its climax in stoppage time when Mohamed Konaté headed in the winning goal, securing a vital three points for Al Riyadh.
Mensah's consistent performances this season have been noteworthy, as he has already recorded one goal and two assists in just four matches. Al Riyadh will now shift its focus to the King's Cup clash against Al Safa on September 25th.
