After 6 consecutive scoring matches, Ronaldo failed to score in the match against Abha in round 9 of the Saudi Arabia championship. In this match, Al Nassr also broke their winning streak when they let their opponents equalize 2-2.

Ronaldo and Al Nassr are full of confidence to welcome Abha at home. The Saudi Arabia capital team has won 6 consecutive matches in the national championship (10 consecutive matches in all competitions). Individually, CR7 also scored in 6 consecutive matches.

However, against a much weaker opponent, Al Nassr could not win. On the day C. Ronaldo “failed”, Al Nassr unfortunately lost points when drawing with Abha with a score of 2-2. The away team’s equalizer was scored in the 90+2 minute.

With this result, Al Nassr temporarily ranked third in the Saudi Arabia national championship rankings with 19 points, 3 points behind top team Al Taawon.

In fact, Al Nassr had a policy of pre-emptive attack to sink weak opponent Abha. They created tremendous pressure and did not give Abha a chance to get on the ball. Right in the 3rd minute, Otavio opened the score for Al Nassr. By the 28th minute, the score increased to 2-0 for the home team after Anderson Talisca’s goal.

It was thought that Al Nassr would have an easy victory over Abha, but things did not progress according to their wishes. Having a big advantage, Al Nassr played subjectively. In the 36th minute, Abha scored from the penalty spot by Bguir. Previously, Otavio was the one who committed a foul that led to a penalty kick.

In the following minutes, Al Nassr still attacked but squandered the opportunity. Ronaldo did not play well in this match. The Portuguese striker launched 6 shots but only hit the target twice.

Attacking too much but not scoring a goal, Al Nassr had to pay the price in the injury time of the second half. Ekambi poured cold water on Al Nassr after a classy long-range shot, leveling the score at 2-2 for Abha. That was also the final result of the match.
