• Alex Telles scored an absolute screamer for Al-Nassr against Al-Ettifaq in the Saudi Pro League
• Al-Nassr beat Al-Ettifaq 3-1 to keep hold of second place in the Saudi Pro League behind Al-Hilal
• Al-Hilal scored seven goals against Abha to maintain their 10-point lead over Al-Nassr on the table

When you think Al-Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane are the first names that come to mind.

While they are two of the biggest superstars in the team, Alex Telles is out to prove that he is also a force to be reckoned with in the squad.

The Brazilian scored an absolute screamer when Al-Nassr took on Al-Ettifaq in the Saudi Pro League. Telles opened the scoring in the first half when he volleyed home from outside the box.

The box left Al-Ettifaq’s keeper with no chance, as it nestled into the top corner of the net.
