Al-Nassr beat Al Baten 3-1 and topped the first division of Saudi football. Cristiano Ronaldo, who was awarded the league’s player of the month in February before the game, failed to score. On the other hand, the greatest peculiarity is that all the goals of the leader of the Saudi tournament they were scored after 90 minutesthat is, in aggregate time.
Al Baten got off to an early start, taking the lead. Renzo López, former Central Córdoba player of Santiago del Estero until a few months ago, he received a cross from Bukia, jumped higher than his mark and managed to head in the first goal of the game.
Several names, which have played in our football in the past, are the ones that could be recognised. Martín Campaña, former Independiente goalkeeper, and the aforementioned Renzo López are part of Al Baten. On the side of Al-Nassr, although sitting on the bench, he was Augustine Rossi. The former Boca lost his job a few games ago and doesn’t enjoy the continuity he certainly imagined.
Despite the fact that in the previous they faced a potential punter with the last one in the championship, the process was fought and defined in the final. Al-Nassr equalized only in the 47th minute of the second half. Luiz Gustavo sent in a front cross and first-class Abdulrahman Ghareeb grabbed the ball on the fly.
But obviously the match referee had added 12 minutes. Al-Nassr was able to turn the approximately 57-minute result into the plugin thanks to Mohammed Al-Fatil. Two minutes later, with time already up, Mohammed Maran received the ball in the center of the areahe took his time and defined Campaña’s right place.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s performance
The Portuguese, who has scored 8 goals since arriving in Saudi Arabia, had a rather discreet meeting. Although he completed the entire game and faced an a priori low-level rival, the 37-year-old star could not gain much advantage.
Accustomed to the old days of the former Real Madrid player, it is rare that he does not participate in his team’s goals, either with a goal or with an assist.
