Ronaldo missed the title again

In the early morning of October 29, Al Nassr lost 1-2 to Al Ittihad in the 1/8 round of the Saudi Arabia King's Cup.

Ronaldo still has not been able to win an official title with Al Nassr.

More than 2 months after the defeat in the Super Cup semi-final, Karim Benzema and his teammates had a sweet "revenge" against Al Nassr. Away from home, Al Ittihad showed impressive defensive counter-attacking play and only needed 15 minutes to penetrate the home team's net.

From Moussa Diaby's pass, Karim Benzema broke free, fired a precise shot from a tight angle, and defeated goalkeeper Bento. After conceding the goal, Al Nassr rose strongly. Although he did not score directly, Ronaldo still helped the home team equalize in the 30th minute. The 1985-born superstar's cross hit a defender and then found Angelo's position. The Brazilian player seized the opportunity to shoot into the top of the visitors' net.

The home fans' joy did not last long. Just before the end of the first half, Al Nassr's defense let Houssem Aouar slip through and immediately paid the price with a second goal.

The incident happened right at the beginning of the second half, when Al Ittihad had to play with one less man from the 49th minute, when Al Julaydan was sent off after a dangerous foul. Al Nassr had the advantage in numbers but could not find a way to penetrate the opponent's crowded defense. Ronaldo had a dull match, not leaving any remarkable mark. The adjustments of coach Jorge Jesus such as Wesley, Marcelo Brozovic could not help the home team turn the match around.

The final whistle blew with the joy of Benzema and his teammates. Meanwhile, Ronaldo went straight into the tunnel. CR7 missed out on another title, thereby extending his empty-handed streak in the Middle East. This season, the Al-Awwal Park team still has the chance to compete for the title in the Saudi Pro League and AFC Champions League Two.
