FT: Al-Ittihad 2-5 Al-Nassr.
CR7 has risen to be the player who scored the most goals in 2023 with 53 goals and still hasn’t stopped at that number because CR7 has 1 more match in 2023 with a veteran about to turn 39. It’s amazing when the time comes. Time for Ronaldo is just a number. He challenges all limits and breaks all records
During the first half, each team had 2 yellow cards, but while Al-Nassr scored 1 more goal, the home team could not do that. Alex Telles was the star during this period, with 1 assist for Anderson Tallisca’s goal and 1 booking.
Just 5 minutes after the break, the score was equal again, when Allah completed his own double. However, matters then worsened rapidly for Al-Ittihad.
In just 2 minutes (64 and 66), Fabinho received 2 consecutive yellow cards, after which Ronaldo once again successfully scored a penalty kick, increasing the score to 3-2.
Ronaldo scored his 19th goal since the beginning of the season in the Saudi Pro League, also his 53rd goal in 2023, to surpass Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe, becoming the best striker in the calendar year.
Playing better than others, the rest was quite easy for Al-Nassr, when Sadio Mane also scored 2 goals in the 75th and 82nd minutes, setting the score 5-2.
For the first time in more than half a decade, Al-Nassr won against Al-Ittihad, but more importantly, they narrowed the gap with top team Al-Hilal to 6 points after 18 rounds.
Ronaldo declared that he and his teammates will pursue to the end in the championship race.
