Al-Nassr are doing their best work ahead of Luis Castro’s side’s decisive clash with Al-Hilal.
Today the star of the show was once again Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese striker scored a brace in three minutes to put the seal on a game that was getting difficult for his team, who ran out 3-0 winners.
With this victory they are one point behind their biggest rivals.
Al-Nassr started with a warning. With no time for the fans to settle in their seats, Talisca threatened Paulo Vitor with a shot from inside the box. Ronaldo had his chance in the 5th minute, in his best move of the first half, when he went through two players and his shot went just wide of the post.
There was a surprise with who opened the scoring. Sami finished off a gift from Sultan. From then on, Al-Nassr’s dominance faded. Like a student who focuses on the difficult subject (Al-Hilal) and is confident in the easy one (Al-Akhdoud). And so, it was.
Collado, formerly of Elche and on loan from Betis with the Saudi Arabian team, showed why he is the most important player in his team with a good shot from outside the area.
Shortly after came the scare from Fatil inside the area, who was saved by a previous offside. On the verge of half-time, Talisca again troubled Paulo Vítor with an acrobatic shot that went wide. If it had gone in, we would have had the goal of the month.
