Al-Nassr lost to Al-Wehda on Monday in the semi-finals of the Saudi Arabian Cup (0-1). Second in the championship behind Al-Ittihad, Cristiano Ronaldo’s club risks ending its season without a single trophy.
Big disappointment for Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese striker lost with Al-Nassr once morest Al-Wehda on Monday in the semi-final of the Saudi Arabian Cup (0-1). At the end of a largely dominated match (66% possession, 24 shots to 5), the Riyadh club fell at KSU Stadium once morest a team that was outnumbered for more than half an hour, following the exclusion of Abdullah Al-Hafith (53rd). French center-forward Jean-David Beauguel (31), born in Strasbourg and passed through Toulouse, scored the only goal of the match from an acrobatic return (23rd).
CR7 did try to make the difference, but he was unsuccessful in his attempts. The 38-year-old striker signaled himself with a strike repelled by the opposing goalkeeper at the start of the game, before finding the bar with a powerful shot in the second half. The fivefold Golden Ball also caused the red card inflicted on the Mecca club. But his burst of energy did not allow his team, coached by Croatian Dinko Jelicic since the ousting of Rudi Garcia, to avoid a frustrating defeat.
Al-Ittihad launched towards the title
This setback is all the more unfortunate as Al-Nassr is only second in the league. With six rounds remaining, the Riyadh club are 3 points behind leaders Al-Ittihad, who have one game less and have lost only once this season. Suffice to say that the case is badly embarked. Since arriving in Saudi Arabia in early January, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 14 goals and provided 4 assists in 29 appearances (in all competitions).
