Cristiano Ronaldo's competitive debut for Al-Nassr ended in victory but no goals for the Portuguese as his new side beat Ettifaq 1-0 in the Saudi Pro League.
The 37-year-old joined Al-Nassr last month on a reported £175million-a-year contract until 2025.
That came after the former Juventus and Real Madrid forward's existing deal with Manchester United was cancelled in the aftermath of a high-profile interview in which he was critical of the club and officials.

Ronaldo, who on Thursday scored twice for a Riyadh All Stars team in a 5-4 defeat to Lionel Messi's Paris St Germain in an exhibition match in the Saudi capital, played the full 90 minutes for the league leaders against Ettifaq on Sunday but did not make a telling contribution.
Brazilian Anderson Talisca, a former Benfica forward, scored the only goal of the game on the half-hour.
The win keeps Al-Nassr a point clear of Al Hilal at the top of the table having played 14 games, one less than their nearest challengers.

Ronaldo had been forced to wait for his debut due to receiving a two-game FA suspension after smashing an Everton fan's phone last year.
As a consequence, Ronaldo missed Al-Nassr's 2-0 win against Al-Tai and their 0-0 draw with Al-Shabab.
Al-Nassr were also forced to make room in their squad to register the Portuguese superstar.
Vincent Aboubakar's saw his contract terminated by the Saudi Arabian club to make way for Ronaldo, with the Cameroon forward having since joined Turkish side Besiktas.
The decision came due to the Saudi League rules stating that clubs can only register up to eight foreign players per squad.

Ronaldo had joined Al-Nassr following a difficult couple of months, including the forward's controversial exit from Manchester United.
The 37-year-old had given a bombshell interview to Piers Morgan, which saw him take aim at various aspects of the club.
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag and the owners, the Glazers, were among those to be criticised by Ronaldo, leading to his departure.
Ronaldo was later dropped to the bench for Portugal's two knockout ties at the World Cup in Qatar.
The forward was reported to have fallen out with then-national team boss Fernando Santos.

Husband of Mom Who Strangled Three Kids: I Forgive Her
The husband of the Massachusetts mom who strangled their three children has issued a heartbreaking plea for the public to forgive her, even as he laid bare his “excruciating and relentless” pain.
“The real Lindsay was generously loving and caring towards everyone—me, our kids, family, friends, and her patients,” Patrick Clancy wrote in a GoFundMe update about his wife, a nurse.
“The very fibers of her soul are loving. All I wish for her now is that she can somehow find peace.”
Lindsay Clancy was charged with murder after she killed 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old son Dawson and 8-month-old son Callan and tried to take her own life while her husband was out getting food.
Authorities have not provided a motive for the crime, though there have been questions about whether the Duxbury, Massachusetts, mom was suffering from post-partum psychosis.
“Cora, Dawson, and Callan were the essence of my life and I’m completely lost without them,” Patrick Clancy wrote. “My family was the best thing that ever happened to me. I took so much pride in being Lindsay’s husband and a dad to Cora, Dawson, and Callan. I always reminded myself that each day with them was a new gift.
“Callan usually woke up first and would rest his head on my shoulder for a few minutes as he adjusted to morning. Dawson typically sang or spoke his thoughts out loud for a while before we’d go get him. Cora was a big girl and would simply walk downstairs. I can still vividly picture her coming into the living room each morning with her hair in a mess, smile on her face.”
He said that Callan, who did not die until several days after the attack, “always knew how to heal me.”
“Perhaps that’s why he held on a little longer—to spare me whatever pain he could. As excruciating as it was, I was fortunate and grateful to feel his warmth until his very last moment. Faith is my only hope of believing he felt mine.
“Callan died with enormous courage despite being so little. Maybe it was his way of demonstrating what I need to do to press forward. I’ll always try to draw inspiration from him.”
Then the grieving dad wrote lovingly of his wife.
“She’s recently been portrayed largely by people who have never met her and never knew who the real Lindsay was,” he said. “Our marriage was wonderful and diametrically grew stronger as her condition rapidly worsened.”
He described the 32-year-old as a completely dedicated mother before last week’s tragedy.
“I want to ask all of you that you find it deep within yourselves to forgive Lindsay, as I have,” he wrote.
