With two matches remaining in the league, Al Naser is still three points behind Al Ittihad. Al Ittihad maintained their lead in the league after beating Al Bateen 1-0.
Al Nasser won after trailing by two goals
Al Nasser didn’t start well. Al Shabab’s Cristian Guanca scored two goals to give his team a two-goal lead. Brazil striker Anderson Talisca scored a goal to make the difference 1-2 just before half time. In the sixth minute of the second half, Abdulrahman Gharib scored a goal to give Al Nasser a 2-2 draw. Shortly after, Ronaldo scored an excellent goal. He scored a brilliant goal, taking two Al Shabab defenders. It was Ronaldo’s 14th goal for the club after joining Al Nasser after the World Cup.
Cristiano said Saudi league is getting better slowly
Ronaldo said after the match that it was very difficult to come back from 0-2 down, but we kept the faith till the end and scored three goals. Ronaldo said that the Saudi league is slowly getting better. He thinks that the league will be in the top 5 leagues in the world in the coming time, but it needs some time. For this it is necessary to have good footballers and good infrastructure. And if Agal Al Nasser loses to Riyadh in the coming match, Al Ittihad will become the winner.
Valencia fined 4 million for racist remarks on Vinicius
Spanish club Valencia has been fined around 4 million rupees (45,000 euros) and banned from closing some part of the stadium for the next five matches in connection with the racial remarks on Real Madrid’s Brazilian striker Vinicius Junior. Valencia has strongly opposed this ban. Vinicius protested against being called a monkey by spectators behind the goal in the Real Madrid-Valencia match on Sunday. This is not the first time Vinicius has been subjected to racial slurs. Not only this, the Spanish police have also arrested seven spectators in this case.
