From the rejected stone to the corner piece, George Ilenikhena outshone Cristiano Ronaldo to be named Man of the Match after his two goals won the match for Al Ittihad.
Ilenikhena, who has agreed to play for the Super Eagles after he represented France at U21 level, is now the toast of the Saudi Pro League after it looked like he would move again this summer.
The 19-year-old striker, who was born in Lagos, struggled on arrival from AS Monaco early this year, but he has now turned the corner to have three goals in four league games as well as two goals in the Kings Cup.
Saturday night he grabbed the brace for Al Ittihad to beat defending champions Al Nassr, who paraded the legendary Ronaldo.
The young striker opened scoring in the fourth minute, before he doubled the lead in the 22nd minute.
Sofascore rated him Man of the Match with the highest individual performance score of 8.1 points ahead of Ronaldo, who was rated 6.7 points.
Al Ittihad are now fourth in the Pro League standings with 11 points from five matches, four points behind leaders Al Hilal.
