Bernard Mensah has been in exceptional form in the Saudi Pro League, scoring a double for Al Tai in their remarkable comeback win against Al Fateh, significantly enhancing their prospects of staying in the league.

Since his transfer from Kayserispor last summer, the former Ghana international has been pivotal for Al Tai, scoring his 13th and 14th goals of the season in the game.

The match at the Prince Abdul Aziz bin Musa'ed Stadium began intensely, with the visiting team scoring early on through Cape Verdean striker Djaniny at the four-minute mark.

Al Tai responded quickly, equalizing just eight minutes later thanks to defender Robert Bauer.

In the 83rd minute, Mensah propelled Al Tai into the lead with a header from an Andrei Cordea corner, marking the team's first lead in the match.

Mensah's standout moment came with a remarkable solo effort, where he outmanoeuvred four defenders and scored past the Al Fateh goalkeeper, sealing the victory.

Throughout this season, Mensah has stood out as one of the premier African talents in the Saudi Pro League, with a tally of 14 goals and an assist across 28 matches.
