The central match of the 15th round of the Saudi Arabian Pro League did not leave football fans indifferent. In one of the most fundamental clashes in the country, the home team secured a convincing 3-1 victory against Al-Hilal and An Nasr.
The match was dominated by Simeone Inzaghi's men. In the first half, away team captain Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring. The Portuguese star scored his 959th career goal in the 42nd minute, once again breaking the pages of history. However, this goal was not decisive for An Nasr.
In the second half, Al Hilal took full control of the game. Salim Ad-Dawsari leveled the score in the 57th minute with a penalty. The fate of the match was decided in the 81st minute after Cannon's goal. In added time, Neves scored the third goal from a penalty, securing the victory.
One of the turning points of the match was his removal from the field due to a foul on An Nasr goalkeeper Nevesh. This situation had a significant psychological impact on George Jesus' team, and the visitors were unable to resist.
