In the match Al Nassr vs Al Hazm, host Al Nassr dropped 2 valuable points when Al Hazm conceded in the 9th minute of injury time.

Goal:

Al Nassr: Talisca (pen 31′, 61′, 71′), Mane (pen 90+4′)Al Hazm: Al Mhemaid (53′), Toze (66′), Selemani (84′), Paulo Ricardo (90 +9′)

Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo missed this match due to serving a suspension after making obscene gestures towards Al Shabab fans last week. The 39-year-old is likely to return to action on Monday when Al Nassr host Al Ain of the UAE in the first leg of the AFC Champions League quarter-finals.

The absence of the Portuguese striker is a big disadvantage for the yellow shirt team, because he is the player who scores the most goals for Al Nassr this season with 22 goals in 20 appearances. However, striker Talisca “stunted” perfectly with a shining performance in the role of leading the Al Nassr attack in place of CR7 when scoring a hat-trick, reaching 16 goals in 17 matches in the Saudi Pro League this season. .

On the contrary, Al Nassr played quite poorly defensively. The home team took the lead four times and still could not win against the team at the bottom of the Saudi Pro League rankings.

Three times Talisca put the hosts ahead in the 31st, 61st and 71st minutes, respectively Ahmad Al Mhemaid, Toze and Faiz Selemani leveled the score for Al Hazm. By the 4th minute of injury time, it seemed that Al Nassr had secured a 4-3 victory with Sadio Mane’s successful penalty. But just 5 minutes later, Paulo Ricardo equalized for the fourth time for the away team.

This draw leaves Al Nassr 6 points behind leaders Al Hilal, who are still unbeaten and have played one match less than them. At the bottom of the rankings, Al Hazm climbed one place to 17th place thanks to 1 point earned at Al Awwal.
