In the twenty-third round of the Saudi Arabia National Championship, Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Nassr continued their string of terrible results by suffering a loss against Al Raed by a score of three to one.

In round 23 of the Saudi Arabia National Championship, Al Nassr was defeated by Al Raed at their own stadium by a score of 1-3. It is possible that Cristiano Ronaldo and his colleagues may fall behind Al Hilal in the fight for the championship by a distance of twelve points. Al Nassr has not been victorious in any of their previous three matches, regardless of the competition they are competing in.

At the moment, Al Nassr holds the second spot in the rankings of the Saudi Arabia National Championship as they have accumulated 53 points. Al Hilal is now in first place with 62 points and will go to Al Riyadh at nine o’clock tonight, March 8.

From a personal standpoint, Cristiano Ronaldo’s performance against Al Raed was not up to his standards. The most significant contribution made by the Portuguese superstar was his shot that hit the post, and then in the twenty-fourth minute, Ayman Yahya scored to tie the score at one-all.

 

Karim El Berkaoui (18 minutes), Mohamed Fouzair (46 minutes), and Amir Sayoud (87 minutes) were the three players who scored goals for Al Raed in the midst of Al Nassr’s bad defensive conditions. A stunning free kick that Cristiano Ronaldo attempted to score in extra time was blocked by the crossbar, which prevented him from scoring a spectacular goal.

The defeat that Al Nassr suffered at the hands of Al Raed places further pressure on the team in advance of the second leg of the quarterfinals of the AFC Champions League. A rematch between Cristiano Ronaldo and his colleagues and Al Ain is scheduled to take place at 2:00 a.m. on March 12, following a loss of 0-1 away from home in the first leg of the international competition.
