Cristiano Ronaldo continues looking for his first title since arriving at Al Nassr back in the winter of 2023. He did not have his afternoon to try to continue getting closer to a thousand goals. But, for now, on May 16 they will play the final of the Asian Champions League 2 in view of Osaka Prawn after getting rid of Al Ahli Doha (5-1) with a comeback that ended in ‘manita’
Now completely recovered from the injury that took just over a month out of combat, Christian he formed a duo with his compatriot Joao Felix. Nothing was reserved Jorge Jesus that put all its stars to play in search of the final. Simakan, Coman, Brozovic, Mané…and a Iñigo Martínez which he repeated again as a left back.
The ex of Real Sociedad, Athletic Club and Barcelona came from scoring in the quarterfinals against Al Wasl. However, they had to face a rather complicated opening stretch of the game. Shortly after starting the game, he committed a penalty that Bento had him Draxler and, when the first 10′ of the match were over, he did not get enough of a Yansane who overflowed from the right to end up adjusting his shot to the long post.
The replica of Al Nassr They didn’t wait long and, as soon as the game resumed, they tied the score again. Mané He raised his head on the left wing at the height of the center of the field and served a three-finger delivery to unmark a Angelo who looked for the back pass so that eat I just had to push the ball.
Those of Jorge Jesus They saw how, five minutes later, the referee denied a double to eat for lack of Brozovic at the origin of the play. But, before the 25th minute was up, Angelo appeared again. This time, to define hand in hand after a great filtered pass by Mané from the front of the area.
Al Nassr He had a carousel of opportunities to continue expanding the income… but he got a good scare with the attempt at an Olympic goal by a Fettouhi that ran into the crossbar. He was just scared. And, after an eternal discount, eat He saw the goal again by picking up a dead ball in the heart of the area after a tightrope walker action by Joao Felix in bottom line.
Christianwho had hardly had any chances during the entire first half, forgave a goal called after a pass from his own Joao Felix right after returning from the locker room. She was not the only one, since shortly afterwards he was forced to hole a serve Boushal at the near post, they blocked a free shot in the heart of the area and he missed a control when he was already facing Badredlin…before being replaced with just under a quarter of an hour to go.
At that time, Coman certified his ‘hat-trick’ with a cross shot against the post which, however, forced him to retire after feeling a ‘prick’ in his hamstrings. Cristiano’s place, to make matters worse, was occupied by Al Hamdan who ordered the first ball he touched to be saved after a lateral service from Angelo to finish certifying Al Nassr’s victory.
