Ronaldo had an assist very early but missed too many good opportunities, causing the home team to unfortunately drop points.

In the previous round, Al Hilal soon took the throne to rival Saudi Arabia. Therefore, the away team entered Al Nassr’s trip in round 32 of the Saudi Pro League with a very comfortable mentality. Coach Jesus is very respectful of his opponents when fielding the strongest team possible. Meanwhile, Ronaldo and his teammates are still looking for an honorable victory.

Ronaldo plays very hard

The home team scored the opening goal after only about 25 seconds. The scorer was Otavio with an unstoppable shot after Ronaldo’s pass. 10 minutes later, Ronaldo had two chances to double the gap, but the Portuguese superstar both sent the ball out.

It wasn’t until the end of the first half that Al Hilal had their first dangerous opportunity, but Milinkovic Savic sent the ball wide of the post. The Serbian midfielder missed another opportunity at the beginning of the second half despite his header being less than 5 meters away. Al Hilal almost had to concede a second goal in the 61st minute if goalkeeper Bono did not have time to react brilliantly. 

Towards the end of the match, Al Hilal stepped up their attack, but their strikers appeared very ungainly. On the opposite side, CR7 was not outdone when he missed the perfect opportunity in the 80th minute. The Portuguese superstar will probably be extremely regretful after this situation because Mane fouled his opponent in the penalty area in 5th minute of extra time of the second half.

The VAR team advised and the referee pointed to the penalty spot afterwards. Mitrovic was given the responsibility and the Serbian striker did not miss the opportunity to score the equalizer for the away team. At the end of 90 minutes, both sides were tied in a 2-goal match.
