Al Nassr vs Al Feiha HIGHLIGHTS: Al Feiha holds Ronaldo’s Al Nassr to 0-0 draw

And the referee blows the full-time whistles which means the 12th-ranked Al Feiha holds Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr to a frustrating 0-0 draw.

​

A corner kick for Al Nassr, Masharipov takes it and delivers a lofted ball which was headed away by the Feiha defender and then Gonzalez tires another shot which was collected by keeper Stojkovic. Last 120 seconds, and the search for goal hasn’t ended.

Talisca goes down inside the box, Amri takes a shot which goes way too high after a deflection and Ronaldo fails to reach before the keeper, and at the same time, a Feiha defender has injured himself during all these things, too much happening at the ends minutes here.

Seven minutes have been added after the end of 90 minutes of regulation time.

Gustavo, Ronaldo and Talisca all take one shot each as both teams have placed all their players on Al Feiha’s side.

Al Nassr is bombarding Al Feiha with shots- after shots, however, it has failed to convert any of them. Desperate measures from the away team.

Final two changes from Al Nassr as Maran and Mashripov comes in for Yahya and Konan.

A heated battle between Mandash and Al Amri as they both lock up with each other fighting for the ball.

Al Amri shows skills to pierce through the right channel and squeeze the ball past the defender to hit a shot but it got extra elevation and goes above all, over the post.

OFF-SIDE! Ghareeb with a masterful through ball, which went past everyone to find Talisca who runs down to find the back of the net, albeit, in an off-side position. What a chance for Al Nassr. Meanwhile, Al Feiha’s goalkeeper Stojkovic is furious from his back line.

A sliding tackle on Talisca, the play goes on as Nassr still looks for their opening goal.

Ronaldo meanwhile runs down the defence, he has been ushered out by the captain Sami as Feiha takes the ball possession back.

Al Amri is down in the middle and looks in serious discomfort as he is writhing in pain. A forced change from Rudi Garica incoming?

Al Ittihad has just scored its opening goal against Al Wehda, Al Nassr would have to stay in the second position if the other game’s scoreline stays the same.

The game has seen a sudden change of pace after the halftime break, the 15 minutes of the game in the second half lacks pace compared to the first half.

Nassr is looking for a potential forward press but a handball from their player will shift them back to their side.

Ronaldo is trying to cheer his side, as he attempting to inject an external motivation, will it help? Stay till the end to know!

Players are coming back in the middle.

And with the whistle from the referee, he brings the first half to a close, 0-0 at halftime at Al Majma’ah.

Three minutes have been added.

We have seen good football for the last 40 minutes, both Nassr and Feiha had at least three chances each to convert the goal but we will mostly end the first half with a nil-nil scoreline.

Ghareeb shows his skills, he passes to Ronaldo to get a back pass with his nimble-footed run with the ball, squeezing past defenders but captain Sami Al-Khaibari tackles him on time.

Talisca has been taken down by Shuwaish inside the box, a fair challenge from him to tackle within the footballing limits. Nassr players are looking at the referee, asking for a potential foul or a penalty, the referee thinks otherwise, and signals play on.

What a tackle by Al Fahya captain, Sami Al-Khaibari! A near-perfect tackle inside his penalty box to deny any casualties as Ghareeb was on his run with the ball.

A corner kick, later made into a free kick by Al Nassr, Ronaldo gets a lofted ball and tries to hit past the keeper but it misses by a few inches, very close!

SAVE! Tables have seemed to turn as it is Al Nassr who is on the continuous attack. Talisca passes the ball back to 17 number Al Khaibari who takes a shot but keeper Stojkovic saves with a timely dash.

Al Ghanam positioned himself in a tight spot as he delivers a brilliant cross but a tricky header opportunity for Yahya as he misses to find the net.

Al Feiha is on the regular attack as this time the front line of the home team was prowling to get into the lead, a pass-and-play game from the striker Nwakaeme, who takes his chance to go for a shot from an awkward angle but the ball curls away. Definitely a missed chance.

A corner kick for Feiha, a good collection from Alaqidi to remove the pressure.

OFF SIDE, MISSED OPPORTUNITY! Number seven for Feiha scores as he swivels to get the pass from the right flank and finds the back of the net with an amazing shot which went past the keeper, however, the flag has been shown almost immediately which will cut short Fayha’s celebration.

A first booking of the night as Talisca has been shown a yellow card by the referee for a tough challenge on Shuwaish, who has been taken down.

Al Feiha has been able to keep the ball in possession in the last five minutes. They are trying to pierce the six-man in the deep midfield.

Both teams are playing with an end-to-end approach. Good pace in the game till now.

Ghareeb accelerated from the left flank and passes the ball to Ronaldo after beating three defenders inside the box, Ronaldo tries for a left-footed shot but fails to convert.

Al Baqawi tries for a long-range effort on Nassr’s post, but could not keep the ball on target and the ball goes out of play.

A good through ball for Ghareeb in the left flank and he makes a move which gets Nassr a corner kick. A floated ball comes deep and Ronaldo jumps high to head the ball in the channel but Fahya, who has committed numbers in defence deny any chance.

Ronaldo gets the ball and goes for a solo run and runs down deep inside the penalty box but timely intervention from keeper Stojkovic to dive and collect the ball on time.

Chance! Al Nassr retains the ball possession and they are making the first solid move as Yahya takes the pass in front of the keeper but fails to find the back of the net.

Talisca has the ball and he goes for an open shot which gets deflected, the referee signals for a corner but the linesman shows the flag for off-side.
