Al Nassr started the game with an abundance of self-assurance and enthusiasm, and he scored the game’s first goal in the third minute. Following the critical pass made by Ronaldo, a player wearing a yellow shirt crossed the ball for Otavio, who scored in a tidy manner into Abha’s net.

The first half was completely controlled by Al Nassr in terms of possession of the ball, while the opponent had absolutely no clear opportunities. In the 29th minute, Sadio Mane appeared to have a pass that allowed Talisca to run in and shoot into an empty net. This occurred in the same minute. However, just five minutes later, Otavio committed a foul on his opponent inside the penalty area, and Abha was awarded a penalty.

The mission of Captain Bguir was successful, bringing the score to 1-2. Although Al Nassr worked hard to expand their scoring opportunities, they just couldn’t find the back of the net today. At the end of the first half, Ronaldo attempted a risky header, but the ball was unfortunately headed straight for the crossbar.

After the break, Al Nassr found that he was unable to keep up the same tempo as earlier in the game. They seemed to be in a really hopeless situation versus Abha’s enormous defense. In the 66th minute of the game, Ronaldo scored a goal for his team, however he was in an offside position when the goal was scored. 

In the final minute of the game, Al Nassr was handed a crushing loss as a consequence of their several missed opportunities. The shot that Ekambi took was incredible, and it allowed Abha to escape with an important extra point. Although they are still one point behind the leading squad, Al Nassr have moved up to the second spot in the rankings. And Abha continues to hold the 16th spot on the rankings, making it impossible for her to move out of the “red light” group.
