Ghanaian midfielder Bernard Mensah played a key role in Al Riyadh's 2-1 victory over Al-Raed in the Saudi Pro League at the Al Raid Club Stadium.

Despite a challenging match, which saw Al Riyadh reduced to 10 men after Oumar Gonzalez's red card in the 27th minute, Mensah’s contribution helped turn the game around.

Al-Raed initially took the lead in the 71st minute through Amir Sayoud, but Al Riyadh mounted a resilient comeback. In the 80th minute, Faïz Selemani scored the equalizer, thanks to a precise cross from Mensah.

The match reached a dramatic conclusion in stoppage time when Mohamed Konaté headed in the winning goal, securing a crucial three points for Al Riyadh.

Mensah's consistent form has been one of the team's highlights this season, with the Ghanaian international already tallying one goal and two assists in just four matches.

Al Riyadh will now shift their focus to the King’s Cup, where they face Al Safa on September 25th.
