Cristiano Ronaldo nets in Al-Nassr's win over Al-Ta'ee helps revive title hopes in Saudi Pro…
Ronaldo opened the scoring in Al Nassr's 2-0 win over Al Ta'ee, as league leaders Al-Ittihad squandered a two-goal advantage to draw 2-2 with Al-Hilal. Al-Nassr drew to within three points of the top spot with three games remaining in the season.
With league leaders Al-Ittihad throwing away a two-goal advantage to draw 2-2 with Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr drew to within three points of the top spot with three games remaining in the season.
Al-Ittihad, however, still have the advantage in their head-to-head with Al-Nassr, the first tiebreaker if teams finish level on points.
At Al-Ta’ee Stadium in Ha’il, Ronaldo gave Al-Nassr the lead from the penalty spot just after halftime and Brazilian Talisca settled the game with another goal ten minutes from the final whistle.
Ronaldo was also present, in spirit at least, at Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium in Riyadh as Al-Hilal scored controversial goals at the end of each half to battle back and hold Al-Ittihad to a draw.
