• While Qassem was named in the starting lineup, Ali was not included in the match-day squad for his side

Sadio Mane couldn't believe his eyes when he spotted his Al-Nassr teammate's identical twin brother during their Saudi Pro League match against Al Fateh.

Mane, who has been an outstanding addition to Al-Nassr after his move from Bayern Munich, was taken aback by the remarkable resemblance between Al Fateh's Qassem Lajami and his twin, Ali Lajami, who plays for the Knights of Najd.

During their encounter on Friday evening, the brothers faced each other for the first time this season, with Qassem starting for Fateh.

The former Liverpool star seemed bewildered when he exchanged pleasantries with Qassem.

In a video circulating on the X App (formerly known as Twitter), the 31-year-old had to do a double-take to confirm that his teammate, Ali, hadn't secretly switched to Al Fateh without his knowledge.

Mane's genuine and candid reaction endeared him to fans, many of whom responded with laughing emojis.

Nevertheless, the Senegal international broke the game's deadlock with a sublime backheel assist from Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored a hattrick in the match.

Mane added his second goal of the game with a glancing header, helping Al-Nassr secure their first win of the season with a 5-0 victory, GOAL reports.

With a total of three goals in three matches in the Saudi League, Mane now shares the same goal tally with prolific scorers like Ronaldo, Firmino, and Malcom, trailing the league's top scorer, Abderrazak Hamdallah, by just one goal.
