Cristiano Ronaldo leads Al Nassr to victory as they defeat Al Ta’ee by 2-0.
The flashy Saudi club is trying to get their hand on every single point they can get in hopes of closing the gap between Al Ittihad who are close to winning the league.
After a number of mixed results in their previous games, Al Nassr finally claimed a comprehensive win.
The Ronaldo-powered Saudi Club was up against 7th-place Al Ta’ee who are having quite a mixed season themselves. Al Ta’ee was sloppy from the beginning. They were careless with their possession play and getting the ball on target.
None of their 9 shots in the game could come close to the goalpost.
Al Nassr took serious advantage of that as they scored on the first chance they got. A penalty awarded in the 52nd minute ended Cristiano Ronaldo’s recent goal drought. The 38-year-old put his side 1-0 up just after halftime.
The match continued with no serious threat from Al Ta’ee. Al Nassr still dominating by possession and the shots on target. And right on the 80-minute mark, Al Nassr scored again and this time it was Talisca.
At full-time, Cristiano Ronaldo looked relieved along with his teammates who snatched valuable three points.
The fans were full of praise for Ronaldo’s performance and they quickly reacted on social media. Here are the best reactions from Twitter,
Fortunately for Al Nassr, Al Ittihad dropped points in their fixture as they drew simultaneously against Al Hilal.
With the win, Al Nassr is just 3 points short of the top spot. Cristiano Ronaldo and Co. now need to push for victory in the remainder of the fixture in hopes of winning the league.
