Bernard Mensah showcased his exceptional form in the Saudi Pro League by scoring a brace for Al Tai in their comeback win against Al Fateh, boosting their chances of survival in the league.

The former Ghanaian international has been instrumental for Al Tai since joining from Kayserispor last summer, tallying his 13th and 14th goals of the season during the match.

In a thrilling start to the game at the Prince Abdul Aziz bin Musa’ed Stadium, the visitors took an early lead with Cape Verdean forward Djaniny finding the net after just four minutes. However, the hosts equalized eight minutes later courtesy of defender Robert Bauer.

Mensah then put Al Tai ahead in the 83rd minute with a powerful header from an Andrei Cordea corner kick. He sealed the victory with an impressive solo effort, evading four defenders before slotting the ball past the Al Fateh goalkeeper.

Mensah’s outstanding performances have established him as one of the standout African players in the Saudi Pro League this season, with 14 goals and an assist in 28 matches.
