Super Eagles forward Ahmed Musa secured the maximum three points for Al Nasr Riyadh as they defeated Al Shabab (Ksa) by a lone goal in the Saudi Premier League at the Prince Faisal bin Fahad Stadium on Friday evening.

The Nigeria international who is back from the international break netted the winning goal in the 35th minute to shoot his team to the second position of the league table and 25 points from 10 matches.

Musa who was on for the entire duration of the match has now scored five goals for AL-Nasr who are just two points behind league leaders, Al Hilal Riyadh.

It was an ill-tempered match that produced seven yellow cards and two red cards going each way.

From 10 matches, Al-Nasr have won 8, drawn one and lost one, while AL Shabab who are fifth on the log, have won four, drawn 2 and lost 2 matches to have 16 points from the same number of matches.
