After four consecutive victories, Al Nassr failed again in the Saudi Arabian championship, this Friday, on the trip to Al Kholood (3 to 3), in a game in which Stefano Pioli ended up ‘punished’ by saving Cristiano Ronaldo. Jorge Jesus’ Al Hilal can take the opportunity to ‘escape’ even further from their rival in the lead.
The match started better for Paulo Duarte’s former team and, within the first quarter of an hour, Maolida appeared in the right place to open the scoring, in the 12th minute, but the response from the Saudi Arabian runners-up would end up being practically immediate. .
In the 16th minute, Laporte jumped highest to head the equalizer, from a dead ball taken by Lajami, and the turnaround would end up being signed by Anderson Talisca, ex-Benfica, in the 24th minute.
In a true ‘crazy’ game, Al Kholood restored equality within half an hour, with Maolida’s double (28′), making the defensive weaknesses of Pioli’s team evident, something that worsened with Laporte’s injury, one of the pillars of the Riyadh club’s defense.
Just as Otávio and company were looking to get back in front of the scoreboard, there was a new comeback in the match, with a clear goal from Muleka (71′). Even so, in stoppage time, a penalty converted by Talisca, at 90+4′, avoided what would be Pioli’s first defeat since Luís Castro’s succession.
With the result, Al Nassr now has 18 points in third place, three behind leaders Al-Ittihad and Al Hilal, and the team of Jorge Jesus, João Cancelo and Rúben Neves will still play in this round, potentially increasing their advantage to six to your rival.
