The Serbian converted a penalty in the 98th minute Aleksandar Mitrovic gave a tie to Al Hilalchampion before the League of Saudi Arabiawho avoided his defeat and the triumph of Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassrsecond in the classification and who from the first minute of play had the advantage on the scoreboard with the Brazilian scoring Otavio. This way they remain unbeaten in the local league and undefeated in the Riyadh derby.
However, Al Nassr ended their rivals’ winning streak of twenty-four in the League, since they collapsed at Damac on September 21. Now, with two days to go, they drop points again in a non-classification clash whose main incentive is the face-to-face between the two best teams in the competition.
Al Hilal, champions, on the previous date, and Al Nassr, second for now who have no chance of reaching first place but are unbeaten in second place. Jorge Jesús’ Al Hilal are on the verge of defeat, and have yet to lose a game in this tournament.
Also, face to face, the two best scorers in the Saudi Arabia League. Cristiano Ronaldo, Al Nassr, with 33 goals and ten assists, and Mitrovic, who in the one signed this Friday accumulated twenty-seven and five assists.
The local team, Al Nassr, which has eleven players such as the Colombian David Ospina, the French Hispanic center back Aymeric Laporte, the Brazilian Alex Telles, the Senegalese Sadio Mane, the Croatian Marcelo Brozovic and the Portuguese, Cristiano Ronaldo, took the lead in the first minute of the match, as soon as he got the center.
The ball reached the Portuguese star. Ronaldo passed it to Otavio who, from outside the area, fired a shot past Moroccan Bono.
The champion did not find relief until extra time. A foul committed inside the area by Sané on Abdulhamid Saud, which was cautioned by VAR and sanctioned by Spanish referee Sánchez Martínez, led to the tie. Mitrovic didn’t miss from the penalty spot, and in the 98th minute he secured the tie for Al Hilal, which included, among its team, the Moroccan goalkeeper Bono, the Portuguese Ruben Neves, the Brazilian Malcom and Serbians Sergej Milinkovic Savic and Aleksandar Mitrovic.
