Ronaldo, the big disappointment

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr lost 3-0 to Al-Hilal this Friday in the Saudi Pro League, and sees the title slip away.

It was the long-awaited match in Saudi Arabia. Leader of the championship, Al-Hilal hosted his runner-up Al-Nassr this Friday evening, on behalf of the 15th day of the Saudi Pro League. A decisive meeting in the race for the title and which turned in favor of the locals.

Thanks in particular to a double from Aleksandar Mitrovic at the end of the game, Al-Hilal largely won (3-0). A success which allows Jorge Jesus’ men to take seven lengths ahead of their evening opponent at the top of the ranking.

Not successful, Cristiano Ronaldo certainly shook the nets, but his goal was ultimately refused for an offside position. Too bad for Al-Nassr, who could have equalized at that moment (74th) and thus changed the course of this match.
