There can be some concern regardless of the win.
Al-Nassr moved again to the highest of the Saudi Professional League with a 3-1 win over Al-Fayha in a recreation that noticed Cristiano Ronaldo come off injured, having earlier missed a penalty.
Leapfrogged by Al-Ahli following their 1-0 win at Al-Riyadh, Al-Nassr had a golden early probability to take the lead after Mikel Villanueva fouled Mohamed Simakan within the space. Ronaldo, although, pulled his penalty broad, the ball clipping off the surface of the left-hand publish.
Kingsley Coman and Ronaldo then every spurned alternatives to interrupt the impasse, and Al-Nassr’s profligacy was punished when Abdulelah Al-Amri turned a low ball into the close to publish into his personal web in first-half stoppage time.
Orlando Mosquera confirmed spectacular reflexes to disclaim Ronaldo 4 minutes into the second half, however there was nothing he do to forestall Sadio Mane from levelling issues within the 72nd minutes, the previous Liverpool star turning residence on the far publish following a superb right-wing cross from Kingsley Coman.
Mosquera produced heroics to forestall Coman from finishing the turnaround. Nonetheless, he was the sufferer of great misfortune as Al-Nassr took the lead 10 minutes from the top of regular time, Joao Felix’s drive cannoning off the publish and deflecting in off the goalkeeper’s hip.
Ronaldo limped off in obvious discomfort after that purpose, and his alternative Abdullah Al Hamddan made positive of the factors.
Al Hamddan rolled his first purpose since becoming a member of from Al-Hilal into the online after neat build-up play with Joao Felix left the unlucky Mosquera scrambling in useless to forestall a 3rd purpose.
Al-Nassr are two points clear of Al-Ahli, with Al-Hilal a degree additional again in a three-way title race.
