Last night, Al Nassr faced Al Akhoud in round 31 of the Saudi Arabia national championship. Although there is not much hope of winning the championship, Al Nassr still tries to salvage a small hope.
This team started very well in this match. Right in the 7th minute, Al Nassr scored the opening goal from Brozovic after a beautiful long-range finish.
By the 15th minute, Al Nassr had their second goal. Ali Al Hassan dribbled the ball on the right wing and then passed inside, creating a favorable opportunity for Ronaldo to tap the ball into the empty net. This is CR7’s 53rd goal this season and the 891st goal in the Portuguese superstar’s career.
Thought Al Nassr would have an easy match, but in the second half, they suddenly fell behind. In the 60th minute, Habib shortened the score to 1-2 for Al Akhoud in the 60th minute with a shot from outside the penalty area. In the 70th minute, Godwin suddenly leveled the score 2-2 for Al Akhoud. Al Nassr’s defense played like a dream in this defeat.
Al Nassr pressed forward to attack strongly after conceding two consecutive goals. Finally, after many efforts, they got the winning goal 3-2 thanks to Brozovic.
Even though they won, Al Nassr could only prevent Al Hilal from winning the championship early, but it was very difficult for them to turn the tables. After 31 matches, C. Ronaldo’s team has 77 points, 9 points behind top team Al Hilal and has played one more match. Just need to win 1 more point in the last 4 matches, Al Hilal will officially win the championship.
