 Al Nasr secured a thrilling victory with a goal from Ronaldo.

Al Nasr experienced a dramatic turn of events in their match against Al Shabaab in the Saudi Pro League last night. With the score tied at 1-1 and time running out, it seemed Al Nasr would settle for a draw. However, just before the final whistle, they were awarded a penalty.

Yet the drama didn’t end there. Shortly after, Al Shabaab earned a penalty of their own, but Abderrazzak Hamdallah missed the opportunity to equalize, sealing Al Nasr's win.

 

In a match filled with tension, Al Nasr had led until the 90th minute when Aymeric Laporte scored in the 69th minute. However, Ali Alhasan's own goal brought Al Shabaab back into contention. Despite this, Al Nasr held on for the three points.

 

With this victory, Al Nasr is now second in the league with 17 points from seven matches, boasting five wins and two draws. Al Shabaab sits fourth with four wins and three losses.
