First defeat for Ronaldo, deprived of the Saudi Arabian Super Cup final
Al-Nassr logically lost 3-1 against Al-Ittihad in the semi-finals of the Saudi Super Cup. Cristiano Ronaldo didn’t score or weigh in a low level game. In the final, Al-Ittihad will seek the title against Al Feiha.

Al-Ittihad-Al-Nasser: 2-0
53′: watch out for Al-Ittihad’s counterattacks

The Al-Nassr striker collapses in the box. Despite the protests, the referee does not flinch and, in view of the slow motion, he seems to be right.
Here we go again !
Al-Nassr has 45 minutes to recover from a two-goal deficit.
It’s the break !
Sharper, Al-Ittihad logically leads 2-0 against Al-Nassr. Romarinho and Hamdallah scored. Apart from a powerful header just before the second goal, Ronaldo was not to his advantage. We are still waiting for his first goal with his new colors.
45+4: Martinez shot on target
Gonzalo Martinez tries his luck from distance but without concern for Grohe, the Al-Ittihad goalkeeper.
45+1 : Luiz Gustavo to have you

27′: yellow card for Al-Najei (Al-Nassr)
Guilty of a heavy tackle on Hamdallah, Al-Nassr midfielder Sami Al-Najei received a logical yellow card. The first of this game.
25 ‘: it heats up in front of the goal of Al-Nassr
The Yellow and Black did not go very far from the break. Hamdallah almost took a ball from the penalty spot before being unbalanced. No penalty judge the Dutch referee.
22′: Al-Nassr tries to react
But Rudi Garcia’s players are struggling to be dangerous, like a badly taken corner. Al-Ittihad still leads 1-0 against Al Nassr.
15′ BUUUUUT OF THE ITTIHAD !!!!
The Brazilian Romarinho is at the conclusion of a nice against Al-Attihad which leads 1-0 against Al-Nassr! The goal was logically validated by the VAR.
6′: Romarinho au sol
The Al-Ittihad striker is being treated but nothing serious, the Brazilian can resume his place.
3′: first acceleration for CR7
The Portuguese makes a big bridge on the left side and requests a one-two but the defense of Al-Ittihad stops the captain of Al-Nassr well.
Let’s go !
Will Ronaldo score his first goal with Al-Nassr? Answer in the next few minutes!
Huge atmosphere before kick-off
