George Ilenikhena Scores Twice as Al-Ittihad Beat Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr
Nigerian forward George Ilenikhena scored twice in the opening 22 minutes as Al-Ittihad defeated Al-Nassr 2-1 in the Saudi Pro League. The 20-year-old opened the scoring with a fourth-minute header before adding a spectacular acrobatic finish. Cristiano Ronaldo did not score for Al-Nassr, while Ângelo Gabriel pulled one back before half-time. The display strengthens Ilenikhena’s case for a Super Eagles call-up. With Victor Osimhen reportedly injured, the young striker could be considered for Nigeria’s upcoming AFCON qualifiers against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau.
