Ronaldo's Al-Nassr Falls 2-1 to Al-Ittihad in King Cup
Al-Nassr, the Saudi Arabian club featuring Cristiano Ronaldo, suffered a 2-1 defeat to Al-Ittihad at Al-Awwal Park. The Portuguese star had a notable performance, despite the loss. Al-Nassr's next match is scheduled for Saturday against Al-Feiha.
Al-Nassr's coach, Jorge Jesus, watched as his team fell short against Al-Ittihad in the King Cup of Champions. Ronaldo, who has scored seven goals and assisted two for Al-Nassr this season, had a free kick saved by the wall and deflected behind for a corner late in the game. The Portuguese forward seemed to motivate himself with a brief pep talk before taking the set piece. Despite his best efforts, Al-Nassr couldn't find an equaliser.
Al-Nassr's next challenge is a league match against Al-Feiha on Saturday. Ronaldo, who has been a significant contributor to his team's season, will look to bounce back from this defeat and continue his impressive form.
