Team lost despite Ronaldo’s goal, Al Ittihad defeated in Saudi Pro League

New Delhi. Despite a goal from Cristiano Ronaldo, Al-Nassr suffered a 1-2 defeat to Al-Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League football. Karim Benzema played an important role in the victory of Al-Ittihad. He scored the first goal in the 55th minute of the match.

However, Ronaldo equalized the score after two minutes by dodging goalkeeper Predrag Rajkovic. This goal of Ronaldo prevented Rajkovic from getting a ‘clean sheet’ for the sixth consecutive match. Ronaldo and Benzema now have 10 goals each in this league.

Sadio Mane missed the chance to score his second goal for Al-Nassr but Netherlands’ Steven Bergwijn scored in the last moments of the match (90+1 minutes) to put the team ahead 2–1. Al-Ittihad strengthened its lead at the top of the table after its 12th win in 13 matches of the season, while Al-Nassr is in fourth place.
