• Al-Safri, Al Baqawl, Al-Khaibari, Al-Shuwaish, Al Mutairi; Mandash, Ricardo, Abousaban, Paulinho; Nwakaeme

• Al Aqidi; Al Ghannam, Al Amri, González, Konan, Al Khaibari; Gustavo, Al Sulaiheem, Ghareeb; Ronaldo

And we come to a fitting conclusion to this game in which Ronaldo and Talisca both scored braces and Ayman Yahya Hamad capped it off with his goal in the extra time. Al Nassr’s 5-0 victory will give them a boost, but they will remain second in the league table. Al Ittihad also won 3-0 against Damac to maintain their lead in the Saudi Pro League.

GOALLLLL! Make it 5-0 for Al Nassr. Super sub, Ayman Hamad. A golden opportunity for Talisca to get to his hat trick, but the keeper’s hands reflect the ball to Ayman who just had to show the way in, and he does it with ease. A clinical performance by Al Nassr.

Al Adalah 0-5 Al Nassr

The last-minute struggle for ball possession continues as both Ronaldo and Talisca are looking for their hat tricks.

A free kick to Al Adalah, earned by Eugenio, was easily dealt with by the defenders of Al Nassr.

Nine minutes have been added after the end of regulation time.

Nawaf Alaqidi collided with the Al Adalah defender, Al Salem, a head-on collision in fact and the keeper is bleeding and he has been substituted by A. Rossi.

A corner for Al Adalah, Eugenio takes it but Al Adalah’s striker fails to convert this.

Substitution for Al Adalah - IN: Abdulaziz Al-Alawi | OUT: Mohammed Al-Oufi

GOALLLLLL! This time number two for Talisca! Fourth for Al Nassr. Ayman Yahya provides him with an assist in the form of a through ball and Talisca does the rest to register his name in the score sheet for the second time in the night.

Al Adalah 0-4 Al Nassr

An unmarked run from Hasan Al Habib who came in as the substitution for Khalid Hamdi tries for a shot but he is way too late for it now as the solid line of defence comes up quickly to protect the keeper.

A halt in play as Al Nassr’s defender looks in some discomfort, Rudi Garica will have to do a couple of more substitutions it seems.

IN: Ali Lajami & Majed Qasheesh | OUT: Abdulrahman Ghareeb & Sultan Al Ghanam

GOALLLL! Suiiiiii! Number two for Ronaldo. Al Ghanam passes the ball to Talisca, who provides an assist to Ronaldo, who makes an unmarked run from the left flank to pierce the last line of defence, and he completes the goal with a left-footed shot which goes past keeper, Mijatovic. Goal number 11 for CR7!

Al Adalah 0-3 Al Nassr

Ronaldo showing his skills to deceive three defends inside the penalty box but it is offside.

Al Adalah takes the ball possession back with a free kick and Eugenio makes a half-hearted attempt to clear the defence but his shot was defended well within time.

A yellow card for S. Al Ghanam for a hard foul on Al Adalah’s defender.

Konan was on the left flank with the ball and he crosses the ball inside the penalty box, Talisca misses the mark this time.

GOALLLLL!! Anderson Talisca! A long-range effort saw the back of the nets this time as he kept Ronaldo waiting who was looking for his second goal. A brilliant finish from Talisca doubled the lead for Al Nassr.

Abdul Rahman Ghareeb looks in some discomfort as he leaves the pitch and Al Nassr is 10 men at the moment. A drop-ball-start for Al Adalah and Khalid Hamdi takes the ball possession.

Ghareeb takes the ball and makes a solo run, he spends a tad bit too much time on the ball as the defenders encircle him to thump him down. A foul as Ronaldo takes the free kick. Nothing to worry about for Al Adalah.

No half-time changes for both Al Nassr and Al Adalah. The second-positioned Al Nassr keeps the majority of the ball possession in the initial four minutes after the half time break.

Welcome back after the half time break.

And we are at the end of the first half. Ronaldo’s goal keep Al Nassr ahead in this away game where Al Adalah missed out on a few areas. A few shots were attempted by them but could not get anything solid out of it. Al Nassr will stay in the second position in the league as of now as current table toppers Al Ittihad is leading its game 2-0 at halftime.

​

A long-range effort from Khalid Hamdi to test Al Nassr’s keeper to dives and palmed away the curling ball to deny an equaliser for Al Adalah.

Chance! Off side! What a ball from Ghareeb to deceive the final line of defence and gives a through ball to Ronaldo who tries for his second goal but the flags have come out, off side.

Al Nassr looks to penetrate with much more intensity after the first goal, six minutes have been added after the 45 mins of regulation time.

GOALLLLLLL! Suiiiiiii echoes around as Ronaldo takes the penalty and finds the net to give Al Nassr a lead here. Ronaldo breaks the deadlock and moves to double figures with this goal. Goal number 10th for him in the Saudi Pro League.

Al Adalah 0-1 Al Nassr

The ball is inside the box, and jersey number 11 Aljamman intercepts but Abdullah Alamri has gone down inside the penalty area and the referee says play on. This looks like a clear-cut penalty and the referee checks for a penalty through a VAR check. And the verdict time, the referee confirms it with the VAR check and gives a penalty kick to Al Nassr. Big chance for the away team to register a goal near to the halftime mark.

An unnecessary foul by Khalid Hamdi on Talisca will get him booked by the referee this time. He gets a yellow card.

A brilliant through ball to Konan who runs with the ball and gives a quality cross to Talisca, who jumps high and targets the net but Mijatovic saves it this time.

SHOT, CLOSE! A long-range effort from Gustavo to clear the field but he misses the target, high and wide. A death-stare from Ronaldo follows who was just beside him, waiting for the ball.

Ghareen takes the ball from the midfield and goes on a 1v1 run targeting the goal but the timely interception from the defender will deny the first goal for Al Nassr.

Cristiano Ronaldo almost got the better of the opposition keeper Mijatovic when he tried to pass on the ball to his forward line. A last-minute correction saves this time.

Ronaldo is on the run this time and he has been thumped down by the defender, he is unhappy and appeals for a foul but the referee thinks otherwise, and the play goes on.

A slow passage of play where Al Nassr is dominating the ball possession and Adalah is looking for some opening but safe to say, nothing piercing till now.

A forced sub by Rudi Garcia who removes injured-looking Najei.

OUT: Sami Al Najei | IN: Ayman Yahya

Konan passes to Ronaldo, who could not time his run properly as the linesman signs for off Side.

Uff! SO NEAR, YET SO FAR! A lazy play by Al Nassr which could have been dangerous for the Ronaldo’s team. A change in flank by Eugenio passes the ball to Antonsson who runs away with it near the goalkeeper but A. Al Aquidi comes out for the last second to save to deny Adalah a first goal. Ronaldo is furious with his back four.

Alvaro Gonzalez along with Alamri tries to be creative in the mid-field but it is crowded in the middle thus nothing comes out of it.

M. Al Oufi fouled on Al Nassr player as the play come to stop for a moment.

Ronaldo is on a solo run and looking for a shot, but he has been covered by the AL Adalah’s defenders, who have committed numbers on the defenders.

Ronaldo and Talisca get the ball rolling as the Saudi Pro League fixture between Al Adalah and Al Nassr gets underway.

It is time for the national anthem of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
